Bug ID: 2259962
Summary: noto symbol font incorrect for PDF / Postscript
Product: Fedora
Version: 39
URL: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SrcMEFqI26un4MAxh2OHd
oTbOi9hgM4v
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Component: google-noto-fonts

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
google-noto-fonts package installs configuration files -
/etc/fonts/conf.d/58-google-noto-sans-symbols2.conf
and
/etc/fonts/conf.d/58-google-noto-sans-symbols-vf.conf
which cause Postscript platform font /Symbol to use NotoSansSymbols[wght].ttf
# fc-match Symbol
NotoSansSymbols[wght].ttf: "Noto Sans Symbols" "Regular"
This font does not have the glyphs required for the standard platform font
"Symbol" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_(typeface)
This should not hijack /Symbol name ... the correct file could be
StandardSymbolsPS.t1.
This results in PDF files that use the Symbol font to produce no or wrong
characters for the glyphs (example /Omega or /degree (see PDF file
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SrcMEFqI26un4MAxh2OHdoTbOi9hgM4v).
This file renders correctly using browsers (Chrome Firefox or Ghostscript)
because they include Postscript core fonts but evince, okular, atril rely on
Fedora to provide fonts. These applications do not render the symbol glyphs
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
view PDF with symbol glyphs from Postscript standard symbol font
Actual Results:
no symbol glyphs shown for PDF viewers using Fedora fonts (rather than built in
Postscript core fonts)
