I recently had an issue with a misrendered PDF, the reason was that my system was unable to properly replace the (proprietary) ZapfDingbats font (see #107002). It turns out this is a rather common problem, see e.g. here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15833 It seems by default fontconfig comes with no replacement alias for it. Ideally this should be fixed in fontconfig. Interestingly the Changelog already contains a note that this has been fixed before: commit 254232f47eaea0d03d2b1c2405d4ded5fd09142e Author: Akira TAGOH <akira@tagoh.org> Date: Wed Mar 7 18:16:35 2012 +0900 Bug 19128 - Handling whitespace in aliases Add a workaround alias for Dingbats. conf.d/30-urw-aliases.conf | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) It probably got lost due to some restructuring, the file 30-urw-aliases.conf is no longer part of fontconfig.
30-urw-alias.conf has been moved to upstream repo of URW fonts[1]. there are nothing we can do here. if you have any proglems, please contact URW upstream then. [1] https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/urw-base35-fonts/blob/master/fontconfig/urw-d050000l.conf
