I'm not a graphics guy, but trying to create a simple icon for work. I want to use one of the Wingdings characters and specify a color. The character is not displaying in Wingdings, but Sans.

Steps to re-create the issue:

* File -> New...
* Set Width 20, Height 20 
* Open Advanced Options, change Fill With to Transparency
* Click OK
* In the Toolbox, click on the Text Tool.
* Type in Windgings in the font field, set size to 19. Justify Center.
* Click the color button and set the color.
* Open Character Map in Windows, set Wingdings as the font, and select the character you want to copy, in my case Ý, and click Copy.
* Click in the 20x20 area of the new icon (with the Text Tool still highlighted)
* Type Ctrl-V to past the character into the field.

The character displays as Ý, not the round circle with the up arrow. 

Also oddly, the text cannot be moved with the Move Tool, but only by dragging the 4 corners of the text object around. 

Thanks,
Larry
