DEFAULT_CHARSET is used for font enumeration and font creation as a "don't
care" value. When querying for information about the character set of the
font that is currently selected into a specified device context, a return
value of DEFAULT_CHARSET simply denotes failure.

SYMBOL_CHARSET is used to select fonts like Symbol and WingDings.
