Missing Symbol font in .NET

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why the 'Symbol' font doesn't exist within my .NET framework environment?
It is definitely installed on the computer, I can access it in word or using a RichTextBox control but when I enumerate fonts installed within ..NET using the following code then it isn't listed.
foreach (FontFamily ff in System.Drawing.FontFamily.Families) {listBox1.Items.Add(ff.Name);}

Is there any way to install it?

Cheers,
Warwick

Further investigation suggests that my PC doesn't have a type type Symbol font installed.
Looking in my Windows\Fonts folder there is a Symbol.fon file but no Symbol.ttf
I assume that .NET only uses true type fonts.
