Why Are Symbol Based Fonts Not Supported?

Hi,

Does anybody know why Symbol based fonts such as Wingdings, and Webdings aren't supported in either Max2D or MaxGUI. What's special about the way those fonts are made that renders them unusable in a graphic/gui interface?

Is it something to do with TrueType (whatever that means) or is it just one of those things...

Thanks

Loading the font with RequestFont seems to work but not LoadGuiFont
