This bug still exists in Wine 1.3.29 and yet there has been no activity on it for a year. Is anyone looking into it? The symbols.ttf font has a long list of incorrect mappings, and since the Ubuntu packages install this font as the default Symbols font for the entire system, it affects many programs, at least on Ubuntu. I suspect the same may be true for many other distributions.
Where did this font come from? Was it created by the Wine project? If so, can it please be fixed? If not, then who created it and can we get them to fix it? If none of this is possible, then can it at least not be installed as the default Symbols font for the entire OS? I'd also say this bug can be confirmed, and the importance upgraded a little. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/789479 Title: Improper encoding of the "Symbol" font Status in Wine: New Status in “poppler” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “wine1.2” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “wine1.3” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The characters 'm' and 'p' are mapped to wrong glphys in the base-14 font "Symbol".
