Hi Larry,
I made the fonts using a version of Font Creator. I draw the original symbols
with Openjump and save them as DXF. Than I used cut/copy for each symbol to
move them from a CAD software to the overview of Font Creator.
AFAIF, The reason why microsoft symbols don't work as labels is that they are
not perfectly centered and small right off-set to the right (due maybe to
typoographic reasons). I centered my symbols so they could be displayed close
to the point coordinates.
The symbols can be centered inside the overview. Thay must be inside a
rectangle or square formed by the two vertical red dotted baselines (left and
right side berings) and the two orizontal one (baseline and x-height).
I also had to save the position of the new fonts to the one of latin alphabet
and numbers (see reference_table.pdf). For some reasons the symbols were not
displayed if I was using othe positions. That means that the geological_symbols
might work only with latin keyboard (?).

Larry,
I don't remember now. By the time I will be back home (I am working abroad), on
next week, I will check and give back a feedback.

Hi Peppe,
Wow, it works! How did you make the Geological Symbols font? For some
reason Wingdings and other Symbol fonts that come with Windows don't work as
label fonts, but your font does.
regards,
Larry
