Character set for Symbol.pfa font

Hi,

I want to know about the characters that are available in the Symbol.pfa font file. I am using freetype library to render the fonts in Windows. What encoding should I provide to get all the symbols in the Symbol font file?

It would be very helpful if i get all the characters in this font(set of characters will vary according to the encoding we are trying to use.... hope am not wrong).

FONTDATABASE(5) 						File Formats Manual						   FONTDATABASE(5)

NAME
FontDataBase - database of fonts accessible to t1lib. DESCRIPTION
This manual page has been written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. It has been adapted from the documentation included in the upstream t1lib distribution. /etc/t1lib/FontDataBase is a text file which contains, minimally, the basenames of Type 1 font files to be made accessible to the t1lib font rasterizer library. The format is intentionally similar to that of the fonts.dir and fonts.scale files used by X11. Line 1 of this file contains a positive integer specifying the number of fonts declared in that file. This is as in the fonts.dir files of the X11 system. All remaining lines contain declarations of one font each. The only thing taken from such a line is the last string (delimited by white space) in it. It is assumed to be a filename of the format basename.someextension. The basename part is assumed to be the basename(1) of a fontfile. After the a string has been parsed, the extension is cut off and replaced in turn with .pfa and .pfb. The initialization routine tries to open a font file in its search path with one of the resulting filenames. The remainder of the line, i.e., from beginning to the start of the filename string, is completely ignored and thus may contain information for other programs. EXAMPLES
Here is a minimal font database file for 4 fonts: 4 isvl.afm isvli.afm isvd.afm isvdi.afm This file is minimal, because it contains just the information needed, and nothing not needed by the library. Here is a more realistic example, which allows an application to match a fully qualified X11 fontname to a FontID in t1lib. This is also a valid font database file: 4 Souvenir Souvenir-Light --- -itc-souvenir-light-r-normal--#-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 isvl.afm Souvenir Souvenir-LightItalic -*- -itc-souvenir-light-i-normal--#-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 isvli.afm Souvenir-Demi *-- -itc-souvenir-demi-r-normal--#-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 isvd.afm Souvenir-DemiItalic **- -itc-souvenir-demi-i-normal--#-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 isvdi.afm FILES
