--- Comment #1 from Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio(a)earthlink.net> ---
Confirming for Webdings and Wingdings, both of which display correctly in
notepad in the same wineprefix. Copying the font to the wineprefix's
/windows/fonts directory doesn't help.

As for OpenSymbol, that font actually has very few characters. Are you sure you
tested the characters that actually exist? (You can check the character map in
FontForge.) On my system, the keys that produce blank rectangles in wordpad
produce the same thing in native LibreOffice, because there is no character for
most keys. The few actual symbols that are contained in that file do show up
normally in wordpad on my system.
