Wingdings font available for selection, but cannot actually use in PDF reports

[Newt]

In setting a Column rule, I have set the rule to Always Use a specific font, Wingdings, for data in that column.  (Regular fonts elsewhere).  But when I import an Excel sheet that has a Wingdings up arrow in it, I get an O with a slash when writing to a temporary or permanent PDF file.  But it correctly outputs the up arrow when writing to a Word file. 

Is there any fix so that outputting to PDFs will recognize the Wingding font?  

Also, is there any way to embed a character code in Alteryx output using the Formula or other tools?

Thanks.

Does outputting to non temporary pdf show any difference?

Unfortunately, Alteryx doesn't appear to render WingDings very well to PDFs.

The rending of WingDings to PDF is a common issue across the internet with other programs as well.

My thoughts would be to write to Word first then run a script that'll convert your word Document into a PDF.
