FYI. I've never liked this special-casing in our graphics class, and
it seems to be causing problems for some users.

Thanks a lot, but I'm not using Synaptic.
I solved it by patching src/af/gr/xp/gr_CairoGraphics.cpp:
@@ -2688,10 +2688,10 @@
// and acutally cause problem on Mac with Cairo as it never finds the
// font "Standards Symbols L" -- hub
//
-// if(pszFontFamily && !strcmp(pszFontFamily, "Symbol"))
-// {
-// pszFontFamily = "Standard Symbols L";
-// }
+ if(pszFontFamily && !strcmp(pszFontFamily, "Symbol"))
+ {
+ pszFontFamily = "Standard Symbols L";
+ }
if(pszFontStyle && *pszFontStyle == 'n')
pStyle = "";
I don't know who hub is, but he seems responsible for the bug.
