Are all pictogram fonts broken in Lion? Since I updated to Lion (Mac OS X 10.7.2) all pictogram fonts (Zapf Dingbats, Webdings et al.) seem to be broken.
The application I have tested are below.
TextEdit
Zapf Dingbats and Webdings do not show up in the font menu. You can select it by selecting  :

Format &gt; Show Fonts…

OmniGraffle
Selecting either Zapf Dingbats or Webdings has no effect.
Pixelmator
Selecting either Zapf Dingbats or Webdings has no effect.
BBEdit
It seems to work in BBEdit (and TextWrangler), these both have Cocoa text handling.
I have tested this on a MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro running 10.7.2.
Firstly, can someone confirm this is an issue for them and not just an artefact of the way I have installed Lion.
Secondly, any solutions?
Update
I forgot to add that all front look fine in Font Book
Update 2
Unfortunately Chris' idea is no good (for my specific issue) as the character I require is the lighting bolt.
I think the fonts are fine - I've just checked them in Font Book.

I tried Text Edit, Pixelmator and Pages and they all do as you state. But, if you load Font Book and find the fonts they are visible and populated with "dings". Could it be that the codes are different due to using Unicode?

To get to Wingdings characters in the other apps:


In Keyboard Preferences check "Show Keyboard &amp; Character Viewers in menu bar".
In the menu bar these is now a new icon.
Click on the icon and select "Show Character Viewer".
Characters can then be cut and paste from the Character Viewer.
