Hi Khaled,

Now, AFAIK, all glyphs in “Symbol” font have proper characters in
Unicode (and the font itself supports them as well, in its non-symbol
cmap subtable), so my question is what is the expected behaviour here,
map the PUA to proper Unicode characters? Expect the font or a
compatible one to be installed and usable? Bundle a compatible font?

We bundle opensymbol (extras/source/truetype/symbol/OpenSymbol.sfd),
isn't that there exactly so that we have no problems when the symbol
font is missing? Or does that have nothing to do with your problem?

It seems to not cover all the symbols in Symbol (what a great font
name), or the original bug fixed by the commit in
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/30932/ wouldn’t happen in the first
place.

So my question is really what is the current indented behaviour, as I
see loots of mystifying mentions of symbol font, conversion tables and
all convoluted stuff I can’t warp my head around.

Regards,
Khaled
