Works for me - is there an issue?
As do the wingding characters (including smiley face et al) in this
page:

Ah, but you cheated:

<td class="big"><font face="Wingdings">&#74;</font></td>
<td align="center">74</td>
<td align="center">0x4A</td>
<td>smileface</td>
<td class="big">&#9786;</td>
<td>9786</td>
<td>U+263A</td>
<td>White smiling face</td>
<td>Miscellaneous Symbols</td>

You didn't tell it to display "J" in Wingdings, you told it to display
"&#9786;" in Wingdings. So of course we get a smiley, because this code
point is blank and the browser substitutes the character from a font
that does have it.

Sorry Paul, but that doesn't compute. I fail to see where I "cheated".
Perhaps this will convince you... Even if I copy all 3 smileys from
ray-nets test page (directly from the page) and paste into LibreOffice
or Openoffice, they paste in directly as wingding characters (smileys)
and the font displayed for the characters is wingdings. I'll be happy to
provide screenshots if you'd like. Or would you prefer an exported PDF
showing the characters instead?

I suggest that the issue is most likely a configuration issue. The
question is which setting (see my other posts regarding Windows).

I don't deny that there's an issue here that needs to be resolved. I'm simply saying this wasn't a fair test.
