You cannot just switch to Symbol and then type roman characters and have them come out as Symbol glyphs...

Unicode text input is too "smart" for that. This makes it a bit of a pain to insert these special characters sometimes.

TextExtras (www.lorax.com/FreeStuff/TextExtras.html) has a panel you can use to insert these and other kinds of special characters if you don't want to memorize a bunch of Unicode hex values... (Actually, I think OS X has a similar panel built in now, but I have not really played with it...)

For some reason, say the rich text have trouble using these fonts. Even Text Edit program would not allow them.

Works fine here.

Though you'll have to use the "Unicode Hex Input" input method or the character palette to get characters from the Symbol font.
