What we needed to do a year before... ;-) Find someone knowledgeable who can have a look into the font. I already extracted the sdf file from our current font: https://github.com/apache/openoffice/tree/trunk/main/extras/source/truetype/symbol/OpenSymbol%202.4.3 Something must have changed with Window 8 upwards, that causes OpenSymbol 2.4.3 to be rejected and substituted by Segoe UI(?). BTW: This is also visible in Impress [1].
