[1. Fonts: ... "Symbol" Font is missing]

To reproduce:

unzip http://www.klsoft.de/download/klasse5.exe
cd "KLSoft - Mathematik"
wine "Klasse 5 Demoversion.exe"
Click on the lower right button "Bedienungsanleitung"
A help window will pop up.
There is supposed to be a bulleted list, but
the bullets are either rendered as squares or
are missing.

Workaround: copy file symbol.ttf from Microsoft Windows to ~/.fonts

Annoyingly, the font "Standard Symbol L" (a urw font which is preinstalled
on Ubuntu Intrepid /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/s050000l.*, 
see also 
http://svn.ghostscript.com/viewvc/trunk/ghostpdl/urwfonts/StandardSymL.ttf
and
http://svn.ghostscript.com/viewvc/trunk/urw-fonts/StandardSymL.afm )
should have the needed symbols, but wine doesn't seem to be able to use it.
Intrepid doesn't come with the .ttf version of that font, but downloading
it and copying it into ~/.font doesn't help like copying the Microsoft
one does.

Hmm, why isn't that font available to wine and/or why aren't the symbols found?
