On a PC, the letter "n" in wingdings is a solid black square. In Scribus, the exact same wingdings character appears as a hollow square with a reddish outline.
Can anyone speak to what's happening here, and how to get the wingding to display properly?
"Outline" isn't selected.
Thank you!
i don't have windings and i can't test.
but i suppose that windings does not have a "n" and that's why you get a square.
scribus shows invalid characters with a red outline and print them as spaces.
other programs print them as rectangles.
... and yes, we had already had a user complaining that she wasn't getting her checkboxes in the pdf...
... and, yes, probably, windings does have checkboxes. but it's not those rectangles : - )
Its working fine on windows 10 for me.
Can you try it on another machine?

I think I could but the other machine is often used (or sat in front of :-[ ) by other people.
I'll give it a try if the moment arises.
I would say that generally Scribus handles fonts right, and many Windows programs don't.
My guess is that it is a code issue. Scribus is likely using unicode, which means it shows the glyph that should be n (but the font does not contain it).
