dpkg -S /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/opens___.ttf

Description: OpenSymbol TrueType font
This package contains the OpenSymbol TrueType font included in
LibreOffice. This font contains symbols (like fonts as Wingdings(tm)),
bullets (needed for bullets in LibreOffice) and non-latin character
it's unclear if opensymbol expect to be a drop-in replacement for
symbol.ttf but i guess debian people would be happy to be informed.
also:
locate symbol.ttf
/usr/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf
xdg-open /usr/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf
dpkg -S /usr/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf
fonts-wine: /usr/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf
so:
cp /usr/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf ~/.local/share/fonts
fc-list|grep symbol
/home/mc/.local/share/fonts/symbol.ttf: Symbol:style=Regular
and now the problem is different: the higher bar of the sqrt symbol
is now up to the symbol itself. not the numeric part.
thanks for helping.
