It is still the same. I know used context instead of my script. (Normally I
compile with a script, because I do not like all the output. When there is
an error I show the last part of the output.) I saw:
    fonts           > defining > font with asked name 'wingdings' is not
found using lookup 'file'
    fonts           > defining > unknown font wingdings, loading aborted
    fonts           > defining > unable to define wingdings as
\**currentsymbolfont**

So properly I need to install the font.

Would it not be better to have at least the option that not finding a font
is an error?
