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.
