ok I searched a bit in the mailing list, but couldn't find the right thing. Isn't it possible to copy this specail character from the "ZapfDingbats" font directly into the font-metric I'm using (I'm using a custom one already)? If so, how can I do this? Maybe there exists a documentation about the whole concept behind the font?
