I found out, what decides which version of the OpenSymbol font is accepted or
rejected on the Win32 platform: The "good" versions either had the "symbol flag"
or they had a version 0 of the OS/2 table in the font. Other versions of the
OS/2 table require more info about the code pages supported by the font. Since
OpenSymbol doesn't support any of the traditional code pages it just indicates
support for the symbol code page. The Win32 platforms doesn't expect a font
which only supports a symbol code page to be unicode encoded...

The workaround for this is to not claim any knowledge about supported codepages
when the font just supports unicode encoded symbols. This can be accomplished by
using a version 0 OS/2 table for the exported font.

Version 1.8 of the OpenSymbol font IH provided as attachment above works,
because this font just claims to support Latin-1 and Win32 happily accepts that.
On the other hand support for Latin-1 is non-existant in OpenSymbol, so there
may be some side-effects, e.g. not accessable symbols on a chinese Win98...
