WingDings, ttf and glyph

[bigbinc]

Is there any reason why the wingding glyph cant be loaded runtime.


File _file = new File("fonts/WINGDNG3.TTF");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(_file);

font = java.awt.Font.createFont(java.awt.Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, fis);

System.out.println(font.getName());
System.out.println("" + font.isBold());
System.out.println("" + font.isPlain());

char nb = (char)0;
for (int z = 0; z < 255; z++) {

System.out.println(nb + " " + font.canDisplay(nb));
nb++;

} // end of


I get false all the way down...

figured it out, it is not a standard ansi charset character, you have to
use glyphvector.
