Using that dll fixed the problem on Windows XP 32bit!
Using the 64-bit one on Windows 7 64-bit didn't work, though.
Also, I was able to test out text/font with a symbol font on OS X 10.8.2,
and it also would not render the symbol font.
I found somebody who had made TeX fonts for byzantine neumes

I just built Racket under Ubuntu 64-bit but I'm still having the same
problem. Like Matthew, I also experienced the font installer crashing on
these fonts, so I copied them into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myfonts and
regenerated the font cache. I was then able to use them in LibreOffice
Writer. I'm

Does it make sense to try to leverage Eli's nightly build setup to
automate this tas
I see. Sigh.

I think you can find more recent discussion that also goes nowhere.

Is it worth raising this point on a pango mailing list and see if what
their take is?

Robby's answer is in principle right: `racket/draw' really wants to
work with Unicode characters, and the right way to access dingbat-like
glyphs is to use the corresponding Unicode code point. The
`racket/draw' library mostly inherits this policy from Pango.
Under Windows, Pango ignores "Wingding

You could submit a PR. I'm the maintainer of the image library and the

Oh, I see. I'm sorry I don't know what is going wrong. Different
versions of cairo/pango could be relevant, possibly.
I doubt it is going to matter, but if you change the expression on

If you want to use, say, α, then you need an actual α in the string, not an "a".
I don't know how the dingbats work, but certainly that's how it works
for characters that are in the unicode character set.

Now I'm experiencing the same problem in Ubuntu 12.10. No symbol fonts
render when using text/font; I only get the latin text equivalent. I tried
this using the Dingbats font built into Ubuntu along with custom symbol
fonts I had downloaded. Both Dingbats and the other symbol fonts I

The text/font function ultimately just calls find-or-create-font with

I guess that this is either a problem at that level of the Racket GUI

Hi all,
I'm a newcomer to Racket and I ran into a problem with the text/font
function in 2htdp/image. stamourv on #racket helped me diagnose this, and
it seems to be a problem confined to Windows XP. When using text/font with
a symbol font like Wingdings or Symbol (standard symbol fonts included w
