Wingdings is, if I remember correctly a bit strange as it is part of the roman character space.

Yes, the "ding" fonts are rather strange in their handling of characters. Wingdings will display symbol glyphs when applied to characters in either the ASCII range (0-256) or the private use area (U+F021 to U+F0FF). If you're using the NSFont API to query supported characters for a ding font (eg: via "coveredCharacterSet"), be careful as it seems to lie; at least under Tiger.
