Works, here, can you check in Okular which is the font that is getting used for Symbol? Use File->Properties->Fonts

Hi,
I see font Type 1 file symbol.ttf located in my home folder .font. I try to remove this file from there and then sudo fc-cache. The bug persists and now I use /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-symbol-replacement/symbol-replacement.ttf/symbol.ttf. The proble I see is with minus pi, mayus pi it's well displayed.
Comment 8 Jero 2010-01-21 15:49:21 UTC
I have open my symbol.ttf with gnome-font viewer and it's described as a trutype font, I don't know why in okular it's described as Type 1. I don't know if this helps.
Comment 9 Albert Astals Cid 2010-01-21 16:07:43 UTC
Do you have /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/Symbol.pfb  installed?
Comment 10 Jero 2010-01-22 03:17:38 UTC
Hi,
Yes I have it, but something it's weird with this font I don't know if it is normal I attach a screenshot of the gnome-font-viewer.

symbol.pfb in gnome-font-viewer
Comment 12 Jero 2010-01-22 03:35:26 UTC
Hi,
I replace the symbol.pfb by default, by the Symbol.ttf (from my home) and renaming it as Symbol.pfb in /usr/share/fonts/type1/mathml/. And now it works, if you could tell me where I could download Symbol.pfb to avoid messing with formats, Thank you very much.
Best Regards
Jero

That font is also usually called s050000l.pfb look for it, usually comes in the gs/urw fonts packages
