The above test file correctly renders a maltese cross dingbat using the Zapf Dingbats font, using prince 6.x on Mac OS X.
On my Linux box, I installed the ITC Zapf Dingbats font from http://fonts.com/ (along with some other non-symbol fonts). The other fonts (e.g. Sabon, etc.) work just fine with prince 5.1 and 6.x.
I can verify that Zapf Dingbats is installed under that name:
fc-list | grep -i ding
Webdings:style=Regular
Dingbats:style=Regular
Caladings CLM:style=Regular
Zapf Dingbats:style=Regular
Yet when I use prince to render the test on Linux, I get this error:
prince: warning: no glyphs for character U+2720, fallback to '?'
(And of course a ? appears in place of the intended glyph.)
Could it be that the .ttf version of Zapf Dingbats sold by http://fonts.com/ does not contain the entity encodings required to map Unicode dingbats to the proper glyphs? If so,
1) What is the solution for rendering this glyph?
2) What is the recommended way of inspecting the capabilities of .ttf fonts on the Linux side? Does Prince have any debugging options that will help troubleshoot the font environment?

About Welsh and Cornish
Welsh and Breton are both Brythonic Celtic languages from Britain. Welsh is spoken by a large community in Wales, especially in the north. Cornish is officially extinct, but many residents of Cornwall have learned a reconstructed variety, and some consider themselves fluent or native
Both languages are closely related to Breton (France) and more distantly related to Irish and Scottish Gaelic.

Cornish Spelling
Install Fonts For Mac
A variety of Cornish spelling systems have been proposed for Cornish. Some have no accented letters, but others may have accented letters.
Unicode for Welsh
Because of the writing system, Welsh places accents on the letters w (phonetic /u/) and y (phonetic /ɨ/ or /i/), which is very unique in languages of the world. These symbols require Unicode support apart from that of other Western European languages. Similarly, some Cornish words may include long vowels such as ā,ō which also require Unicode support.
Common Fonts
Many common fonts such as Times New Roman, Arial, Helvetica, Comic Sans, Palatinto and many more include suppot for characters such as ŵ,ŷ,ā,ō. However, many decorative fonts may be missing those characters.
Middle Welsh fonts
For the more uncommon Middle Welsh manusciript characters (e.g. Ỽ), you may need a specialized font such as the ones listed below.
- Palemonas MUFI – Comprehensive and Includes bold/Italic
- Quivira Font – Also very comprehensive

Windows Keyboards and Accent Codes
Windows Welsh Keyboard
Microsoft provides keyboard utilities for Welsh which allows you to type all the Welsh accented characters.
- See detailed keyboard activation instructions for different versions of the Windows operating system.
- To see where the critical keys are, go to the Microsoft Keyboard Layouts Page.
- You can also input characters from the Character Map. This can be useful if you only need to insert characters into only a few words.
Windows Alt Codes (Modern Welsh and Cornish)
Many, but not all characters can be inputted with the numeric ALT codes. You can also use the Character Map utility for any code
NOTE: Codes with numbers over 255 are only available in Microsoft Word.

Unicode Encoding
If you use long marks, Unicode (utf-8) is the required encoding for Web sites. If the following encodings are used instead, you may encounter display problems:
Avoid These

Note: There is a 'Celtic' Latin-8/Latin-14 standard (ISO-8859-14), but it has been supplanted by Unicode. Few applications support this standard.
