I may be misunderstanding your post (hard to tell sarcasm), but usually most fonts contain the whole character set and can be examined with 'Character Map' under 'accessories'-----> 'system tools' (at least its that way for my xp system.)

They are usually mapped the same way from font to font...such as <alt>0174 is '®'. Just make sure you use the number pad to enter the numbers or it wont work.


Good Luck!
Steve

in the character map there are the shortcut keys shown as well - a few I use all the time are for bullets - hold down the alt key and type 0183 - open and close quotes - instead of using the inch mark which really bothers me.
