Title:
  fonts-symbola breaks plantuml and other java apps

Status in ttf-ancient-fonts package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since the upgrade to 24.10 plantuml (and at least one other java app)
  crashes with the exception:

  $ java -jar /usr/share/plantuml/plantuml.jar plantuml_test.txt 
  Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.startsWith(String)" because "platName" is null

  Searching for the exception brought me to this page:
  https://forum.portswigger.net/thread/could-not-start-burp-java-lang-nullpointerexception-cannot-invoke-string-startswith-string-because-platname-is-null-2b23b80f

  which suggests to remove and purge font-symbola. This solves the
  problem for planuml as well.
