Hi Zolt=E1n

The webdings font is defined as "Microsoft Symbol" and as far as I know
not supported by MapServer. What you can do is to change the font
to "Microsoft Unicode" using i.e. Font Creator (http://www.high-
logic.com). Open the font, choose Format/Platform Manager, select
Microsoft Symbols and click on the button "change", which will switch
it to Unicode. Save and go ...

Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards
Flavio Hendry
