How to use bbding package?

Question

I tried to use bbding package for the enumitem symbols. I have added to my code:

\usepackage{bbding}
....
\begin{itemize}[label=\HandRight]

but I receive error

!pdfTeX error: /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux/pdflatex (file bbding10):
 Font bbding10 at 600 not found
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

I have a complete version of texlive on Ubuntu. What other stuff is needed to put bbding in action?

UPDATE: The question was updated by useful comments in answers. As egreg assisted to figure it out; the problem was connected to user permission, as texlive had been installed under root.

Answer 1

The symbols are not math symbols, so $ is out of place.

You might want to correct the vertical placement of the symbols:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem,bbding,etoolbox,calc}

\makeatletter
\pretocmd{\@chooseSymbol}{\raisebox{-.5ex}[\height-.5ex][0pt]}{}{}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}[label=\HandRight]
\item abc

\item[\PencilRight] def
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

Answer 2

Use it like this and don't use $...$:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{bbding}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}[label=\HandRight]
    \item Test
    \item Test
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
