IIRC what's supposed to happen (though maybe this never worked right,

that if a symbol font is missing, and its one of the ones known to
ConvertChar::GetRecodeData then vcl should map the glyphs to ones found
in OpenSymbol

        Nah - when I worked on extending our opensymbol font it worked ;-)
perhaps you didn't notice my artistic skills there ...

Maybe this got broken, or there's some small-ish reason why stuff isn't
getting run through that converter ?

        Yep; the old 'build' repo had a test/draw/bullets.ppt and
bullet-chars.ppt that were useful once - but - IIRC the easiest way to
test / compare was to have a spreadsheet column full of:

        =CHAR(...)

        For both Excel and Calc - and compare the two visually to improve
compatibility.

        HTH,
