Forget about what I have just written! Sorry!

I have tested with the QT's example program qfd and I found out the same 
symptom than the one you found. Neither "Symbol" nor "Standard Symbol I" give 
me any symbol character.

By the way, qfd is nice if you have to debug fonts!

Have a nice day/evening/night!
