I expect you need to get the true type symbol font..

Lots of Linux discussion can be found on this forum using the search function (in the Support forum).

BBO uses the Symbol.ttf font. You can get it from a Windows installation, and put it where is reachable by Wine. (either in C:\windows\fonts or a system wide directory).

Thank you, it works great!

It is also important to pay attention to the permissions and the ownership of the symbols.ttf file. I had to set it to 755 in order to work as expected.

Kind regards,
