Submit this to bugzilla. This problem is caused because we're not
specifying the correct font for these glyphs in Windows. Adobe ships a
Font called "Dingbats" that have these glyphs in them. There is a one to
one mapping of these glyphs in the Windows font called "Monograph 1" I
think.
Someone who has seen the Dingbats font set should browse the Windows fonts
sets and find the replacement font set. We have the code in place to map
these over, we just have to invoke it.
