Wingdings Not Working In Word For Mac

Hi DavidThanks for your quick response!
Wingdings is not available on all computers, and so the intended characters may not appear on computers running non-Microsoft operating systems such as Mac OS 9, Mac OS X 10 or Linux. The intended characters are also unlikely to appear when using a standards-compliant browser such as Firefox, Netscape 6+, Opera 6+, Safari 3+ or SeaMonkey. If it prints successfully that tells us that the problem is in your existing document. See Troubleshoot damaged documents in Word for Mac. If it doesn't print successfully try changing the font of your text by selecting your sample text, choosing the Font drop down on the ribbon, and selecting a different font.
I did not manage to run it yet. I checked my fonts with the Font Book. Calibri was not installed, so I​ fixed that. Now I should have all default fonts. But addPlot still produces the same error. I tried to check the available fonts from within R with the help of fonts() out of the extrafonts-package. It shows me this:
 [4] 'AppleMyungjo' 'Arial Black' 'Arial' 
 [7] 'Arial Narrow' 'Arial Rounded MT Bold' 'Arial Unicode MS' 
[13] 'Brush Script MT' 'Calibri' 'Cambria'

[16] 'Candara' 'Circular Air Light' 'Comic Sans MS' 
[22] 'Courier New' 'DIN Alternate' 'DIN Condensed' 
[28] 'Lao Sangam MN' 'Lato' 'Lato Light' 
[31] 'Lato Semibold' 'Luminari' 'Microsoft Sans Serif' 
[37] 'Trebuchet MS' 'Verdana' 'Webdings' 

'Courier New' 'Times New Roman' and 'Calibri' are there. However, 'Symbol' is missing. I could not find a way to make Symbol available to R. Then again, I am not even sure, if this really is the way to check availability of fonts as 'Helevetica' is missing in the list and I know that R uses 'Helevetica'.
So I tried the second option you suggested and specify available fonts with addPlot() 
doc <- addPlot(doc, function() print(bp), vector.graphic = TRUE, 
 fontname_sans = 'Calibri',
 fontname_symbol = 'Wingdings')
It did not work.
I also tried 
doc <- addPlot(doc, function() print(bp), vector.graphic = TRUE, 
 fontname_sans = 'Helvetica',
 fontname_symbol = 'Helvetica')
which did not work either. 
I googled quit a lot, but I could not find a solution to solve this fonts issue.
Any further hints? 
All the best,
Fred

fontname_serif, fontname_sans, fontname_mono, fontname_symbol
font names for font faces. Use fonts available on operating system.
fontname_serif = 'Times New Roman', fontname_sans = 'Calibri',
 fontname_mono = 'Courier New', fontname_symbol = 'Symbol'

First solution is to install those fonts. Another solution would be to specify fontnames corresponding to thoses on your system.
