--- Comment #9 from Wolfgang Breyha wbreyha@gmx.net 2010-10-14 08:12:31 CDT --- Opening the symbol.ttf in fontforge (lots of warnings) and decoding it with ttx shows that the unicode mappings (cmap_format_4) are messed up in this font.
I was able to "repair" it with fontforge with the following steps:
*) open symbol.ttf *) Encoding->Force Encoding->Symbol *) Encoding->Reencode->Macintosh Latin *) File->Generate Fonts... (ignore warnings and save)
Then *) remove symbol.ttf from whereever it was installed *) call "fc-cache" as root (-v if you like) *) copy the new symbol.ttf saved with fontforge to the old path *) restart the application which displayed the damaged symbols
My "pi" bug 24731 is fixed then.
