Hi Stan-

This is somewhat confusing to users, but it's not actually a bug. Cocoa apps handle text a little differently than carbon apps do, and that's what you're seeing here.

To enable Dingbats and Symbol fonts in Cocoa apps, open your System Preferences panel and click the International icon. On the International preference pane, click on Keyboard Menu. Look for Symbol and Dingbats in the keyboard list and place a checkmark next to each. Click the Options button and make sure that command-option-space for switching layouts is checked.

Open a Cocoa application, hit command-option-space until you see either the Symbol or the Dingbat keybard icon in your menubar, and start typing. You should now see Symbol/Dingbat characters onscreen.

Let me know if you have any questions.
