Got it now. It took me some time to find out what was wrong. The problem was not the symbol.ttf, but my Forum settings (stupid me). I only had topics visible within 30 days, so I never found the previous BBO for Mac OSX topic before now. And there I found the information of both places I needed to put the font into. I only realized the "problem" when suddenly now 30 days old Linux topic disappeared. Anyways, thank you. Now my bridge playing friends will not call me mac-handicapped. And I still have no reason to install windows:)
