OpenOffice + Wingdings = Not Good

I have no idea what happened. I haven't had to use OOo in a few weeks, so I didn't notice the problem (until now?). It worked fine 2 weeks ago.

I honestly have no idea how to remedy this, as I'm not a good Wingdings interpreter. It's running 2.4.

Thanks.

Does changing the UI font help?
Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> View -> Use system font for user interface

I already tried, unfortunately.

I would, but I have no idea where these options are with this font!  Would you mind posting a walkthrough?
