Are you using DOMPDF 0.5.1 or DOMPDF 0.6.0 alpha 2? There have been significant 
improvements in text 
handling with the latter and I believe both of these characters should render 
correctly.

I'll have to research this a bit more. I believe those characters should be 
supported, so there could be some problems with character set conversion when 
placing the text in the PDF.

In the meantime your best bet for working around the problem would be to use 
Unicode.

Merging with Issue 29 since the problems are similar. As noted in that issue, 
this
problem is partially addressed in the latest development version. Unfortunately,
there are some character set issues which may prevent some characters from 
displaying
correctly unless you use your own font and Unicode encoding.

In 0.6.0 beta 2 it has still problems with Unicode characters as: ● (● - a 
black round centered dot)

Since that is a Unicode character you will have to enable Unicode in your 
configuration file and use you own font. We're still working on enabling 
expanded character support in the core fonts. You could swap that particular 
character with the standard •
