Thanks for the verification of the proper method. I created /usr/share/fonts/truetype/picto-hig and dropped the font in there, and then ran "fc-cache -fv", and now the font shows up in OO.o as "Picto Hig". The web page above still does not display the characters as I would expect, but if I change the default font in Iceweasel preferences/content to picto-hig, I start seeing the font on the page; setting it back to serif puts the page back in plain text. I figure the page is not coded properly. The fontforge trick looks interesting; I may play with that a bit.
