It’s “wingdings” with a “g” in the name!
\definefontsynonym[Wingdings][file:wingdings]

\def\WingdingsSymbol{\getglyphdirect{Wingdings}}

\definesymbol[smiley:1][\WingdingsSymbol{74}]
\definesymbol[smiley:2][\WingdingsSymbol{75}]
\definesymbol[smiley:3][\WingdingsSymbol{76}]

\starttext
\symbol[smiley:1] \symbol[smiley:2] \symbol[smiley:3]
\stoptext

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?
