Screenshot of the Special Characters window on Win7

The Symbol font sets look changed between 6.1 and 6.2 on Windows in the Special Character window.

Actual results:
F0A1 and several other symbols have changed in LibreOffice Writer 6.2.0.0.alpha0+. Now they look as if they were replaced by Webdings. This also means that documents using these special characters look differently.

Expected results:
F0A1 and several other symbols should be the same as in LibreOffice Writer 6.1

Comment 2 V Stuart Foote 2018-07-11 18:38:17 UTC
Issue was not with the Symbol font, nor any symbol font using PUA mapping. Rather it was with the font handling for filling the charmap.

Mishandling of font fallback has been resolved for current master/6.2

retest with build after 2018-07-11
