Default wrong symbol appears

This is in Word 2003(11.5604.5606).
When the user clicks on Insert, symbol and selects a right arrow in
"Recently used symbols" a lower case "a" with a dot on top comes up instead
of a right arrow. The character code is 224. To the left of the character
code the screen reads WP Iconic SymbolsA:00E0. The From: box is Symbol
(decimal).

I noticed in the Microsoft support database that Article ID#140174 discusses
this problem and refers to the symbole.fon file in the Windows/font folder.
This solution is not for Word 2003.
In Word 2003 is there a file that serves the same purpose as symbole.fon?
Does Word 2003
How can I make the correct symbol appear in the document?

You have not responded to replies to your previous posting of this issue. Do
you have the WP Iconic Symbols font installed? If not, you will not get a
symbol from that font regardless of what you do.

The WP Iconic Symbols font is not installed.
