from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.2/+bug/461233

When I open this pdf (attached) with evince, some formulas are rendered 
incorrectly (eg. p. 71). This also happens in Okular.
Confirmed here wine 1.3.

For the record, because this bug description is completely confusing:

"""
launchpad:
reassigning to the wine1.2 package (which produces the ttf-symbol-replacement 
deb)
"""

Apparently, the symbol font produced by wine contains some incorrect
glyphs, such as sigma.

This is an issue with fonts/symbol.ttf, which ubuntu uses to create the
ttf-symbol-replacement package. From what I understand anyway...

It would be helpful to at least describe what exactly the problem is,
and how to reproduce it.

Several users report that when this font is installed by wine some
symbols (such as the sigma on p. 71 of the pdf) in pdfs viewed in Evince
and Okular (native Linux apps) are incorrectly displayed.

It's easy to see in native evince with:
wget http://www.fairchildsemi.com/ds/CD%2FCD4066BC.pdf
sudo apt-get install ttf-symbol-replacement
evince CD_CD4066BC.pdf

there are comparison screenshots on launchpad:

I tried with a windows version of evince, but it doesn't have the
problem (though it does crash because of missing helvetica).

Opening the symbol.ttf in fontforge (lots of warnings) and decoding it
with ttx shows that the unicode mappings (cmap_format_4) are messed up
in this font.

I was able to "repair" it with fontforge with the following steps:

*) open symbol.ttf
*) Encoding->Force Encoding->Symbol
*) Encoding->Reencode->Macintosh Latin
*) File->Generate Fonts... (ignore warnings and save)

Then 
*) remove symbol.ttf from whereever it was installed
*) call "fc-cache" as root (-v if you like)
*) copy the new symbol.ttf saved with fontforge to the old path
*) restart the application which displayed the damaged symbols

My "pi" bug 24731 is fixed then.

Indeed, the issue is with the unicode encoding. In my case, e.g., the
degree sign (U+00B0) was rendered as uppercase Upsilon which is wrongly
mapped in the wine's Symbol font by the same code. And wine's unicode
code for the degree symbol is U+221e, which normally refers to the math
infinity sign.

I think it would be great if this font was somehow prevented to override
other system fonts for native linux applications, even after the unicode
mismatch issue is corrected. Why my usual linux apps should be forced to
use a wine's font?
