Summary0009681: Text in symbol fonts appears as red squares and prevent to add more text
DescriptionWhen I set text with a symbol font such as Zapf Dingbats or Webdings the text doesn’t show. Instead, I have red squares just like if the glyphs would not exist in that particular font.

The fonts are installed and are displayed in the Prefs/Fonts and in the various menus where fonts are displayed including the PP, the StyleManager and the Font prefs.

Picking any other font will display properly.

Related issue:
Setting up text that is already typed in the frame with a symbol fonts prevents from typing further text in the text frame. Selecting a plain text font allows to continue typing.
Additional InformationI discovered that while I was following the discussion about bulleted lists. Made a couple of tries using various symbol fonts and immediately collided with this bug.
TagsNo tags attached.

Works "ok" here.. you have to set the font in the frame as well as doing the insert. The insert should also be setting the font.
