Why does Wingdings not function in IOS 5? Why can't i use wingdings in my iphone app?

[beleg_1998]

built a test app, all it does is populate a label on the screen with text and then try and change the font. 90% of the time this works just fine, even when I am using custom fonts that I have imported. However I have not been able to get Wingdings to function even though I installed it in my resources folder and added it to the info.plist

self.theLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Wingdings-Regular" size:64.0f];

I thought maybe it was the name I was using, but I ran a test and found that not only is the family windgings installed, but Wingdings-Regular is the proper name. I ran experiments where I switched out "Wingdings-Regular" with other variations and noticed that when I do enter something that is garbage, the size is ignored. Using "Wingdings-Regular" the size is not ignored, but the letters show up normally instead of the Symbols I need. Any suggestions? I am pulling my hair out.

I was not able to get this to work, however I was able to use Unicode to get the symbols I needed out of the Arial font. Still curious why Wingdings does not work, but at least I can finish my project.
