Does the Suggested Fontconfig font substitutions part from  
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/poppler help?  
 
If you don't know what are you supposed to do with that just ask.

Comment 2 Florian Mickler 2006-02-27 09:10:54 UTC

Thx! 
That did the trick!
All Symbols are now displayed correctly.

Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2006-02-27 09:37:40 UTC

could you bug your distribution so they add that definition to their fontconfig 
configuration? 
 
Thanks

Comment 4 Florian Mickler 2006-02-27 23:14:10 UTC

Hi,
I already filed a bugreport (gentoo).

but shouldn't this better be fixed in the fontconfig-distribution?

or should the distribution(gentoo) perhaps add this to the specific font
installation?

Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2006-02-28 06:05:52 UTC

fontconfig can not add this as it is not possible for it to know which fonts 
you'll have installed. If is a duty of the distro of providing the fonts they 
think more appropiate and the more common substitutions.
