[XeTeX] Symbol fonts?

[Nicolas Vaughan]

Hi Arthur and Fr. Michael,
I'm on windows Vista (and Ubuntu Linux, if needed). When I open the font
with FontLab (I'm just now downloading FontLab), it tells me the font is
encoded as "MS Windows Symbol". Its glyphs all have unicode names as, e.g.,
F088, F089, etc. But when I try to access them in XeTeX with \char"F088,
nothing happens.
Cheers!
Nicolas
