Thanks to all those who responded to my plea for help. A special thank you to Jacques Paris. I eventually found the answer on Jacques Paris' website at http://www.paris-pc-gis.com/MI_Enviro/TTFsymbols/convert/converting.htm
Starting again from scratch and using Font Creator I followed the procedure explained by Jacques and finally got my symbol to appear in MapInfo. I'm still not sure what I was doing wrong originally and I'm not sure if I'm prepared to go through all the angst again but right now the sun is shining once more.
