[Winehq-f <789479@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

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". This problem has not occurred in maverick.

  I'm attaching a pdf-file that uses all base-14 fonts without embedding
  them, and screenshots from maverick and natty. Note the differences in
  the 5th word in the "Symbol" line. The screenshots were made in
  TeXworks which is based on poppler-qt4 (evince in natty gives the same
  result as TeXworks, but I don't have a maverick-screenshot of it at
  hand).
