When you copy characters from the Wingdings font in Character Map to Wordpad,
the characters may appear in the Times New Roman font. This problem does not
occur with other fonts.

==========

To work around this problem, select the characters and then change the font to
Times New Roman. While the characters are still selected, change the font back
to Wingdings.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
