stuck on so many levels
are you sure this is achievable only from standard windows' character maps?

I'm pretty sure. Made this on a Windows XP platform (in my school library). Asked my colleague to try it on a Win 7 platform, He is getting some answers.
Let me know what numbers you are having problems with. Maybe i'll make the clues easier.

Missing 1-3.
Win7 Ultimate -- of the seven I've solved, only three are on my comp.
Interesting idea though! (I was expecting to have to guess actual typefaces! But things like WhatTheFont might ruin that type of puzzle.)
[edit] of course, #2 comes to me right after I post... :P [/edit]
[edit] #1 -- the new clue helped, since I'd likely not have tried that without it [/edit]
[edit] aaaand solved! [/edit]

Good to know. Hope to have more feedback so I can adjust the clues to be Google friendly.
EDIT: That was fast. Congrats on solving :D

I really can't think of any clues that would not giveaway the answer to #5 easily.
Is that the last one you need to answer by the way?

Added a simple clue to number 8. This time maybe many will get it.

Does your computer have Office/Word installed? That comes with many fonts that base windows doesn't have.

I can't seem to be able to get 2 or 5. I'm afraid I must give up at this point :/
EDIT: Solved!

Answers to the puzzle
Clicky
My first puzzle GA.
Instructions are inside.
No CV.
EDIT:
Had so much fun that I am adding three (3) giveaways if there are 35 solvers within two days [starting from the day this thread was made].
Giveaways will be:
Payday: The Heist
Gumboy Tournament
Shadows: Price for our Sins Bonus Edition.
EDIT 2:
Challenge met, but there is a hiccup.
Apparently, I can only make two giveaways on top of the current giveaway I have.
Decided to giveaway Payday: The Heist and Gumboy Tournament.
I'll let you know if support group will grant me my request to create another giveaway. Sorry for my mistake.
EDIT 3:
Good news! Support gave me additional slots to create a giveaway, so the third giveaway is on the way. Link will be reflected on the original giveaway and the puzzle link. Another game for those who can solve! Thanks SG staff!
EDIT 4:
GA finished. Link to the answers is above the post. Thanks for participating!
