Hi Ulrike!

I tried your sample and was told the font isn't found. But if I convert 
the marvosym.pfb to .otf (using FontForge), then I can load it as a 
system font and use with your example. Is this strange or just me? 
Admittedly, I've never yet exerted enough effort to understand the 
different font encodings. (Also, I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11 ... maybe 
miktex has different capabilities?
