[Bug 789479]

 

Here is a partial list of incorrect mappings in symbols.ttf (this is
just from the "Mathematical Operators" Unicode block:

0x2206 INCREMENT (displayed as an empty set symbol)
0x220f N-ARY PRODUCT (displayed as a division operator)
0x2211 N-ARY SUMMATION (displayed as a filled circle)
0x221a SQUARE ROOT (displayed as a squiggle)
0x221e INFINITY (displayed as an open circle)
0x222b INTEGRAL (displayed as three stacked horizontal bars)
0x2248 ALMOST EQUAL TO (displayed as a circled plus sign)
0x2260 NOT EQUAL TO (displayed as an up arrow)
0x2264 LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO (displayed as a double quote)

Like I said, this is just from the "Mathematical Operators" block, I
didn't check any other blocks, although we know there must be other
blocks involved since the bullet symbol at least is also wrong and that
is in the "General Punctuation" block. This is just to demonstrate the
extent of the problem.

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).
