problem with Webdings font with Max 5.1

Hi,
I’ve got this wonderful "playbutton" that shows lovely "play" and "pause" symbols from the font called Webdings.
since I’ve updated to Max 5.1 yesterday, it only appears with the "4" and ";" in "normal" font, like if Webdings font wasn’t recognise anymore by Max.
But it does appears with "fontlist"…
any idea ?

Intel Mac, Max 5.1.7, Mac OS X.5.8

I had the same problem last week… and Rob from cycling74 team told me :

"Try turning the "Native Text Rendering" option on in the Max Preferences. "

that seems to work :-)

you’ll probably want to add something like this in your patch if you want to make sure that your Webdings look good on any computer :

Worked (& still works) fine in Max 5, but not in Max 6 (on the same machine). Any ideas?
