Well on some of our older machines (e.g. RHEL3 based) fc-match isn't available
but on RHEL5 where it is I get the following output:
$ fc-match WingDings
DejaVuLGCSans.ttf: "DejaVu LGC Sans" "Book"
which seems to be what fc-match reports for most gibberish names too. Of course
fc-match called this way is only looking at 'system' fonts so doesn't know about
the openoffice provided extra fonts like OpenSymbol.
So if I add the following .fonts.conf (apologies about putting this inline)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- ~/.fonts.conf for per-user font configuration -->
<fontconfig>
<!--
Private font directory
-->
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
<alias>
<family>wingdings</family>
<prefer>
<family>OpenSymbol</family>
<family>Standard Symbols L</family>
<family>Symbol</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
then fc-match still reports the same, but now Ooo2.4.0rc4 displays the 'tick'
and some of the other symbols might be right too (I can't tell without the real
font). However on the older platforms (e.g RHEL3 with older fontconfig and no
fc-match command) that doesn't have any effect perhaps because I got the syntax
wrong.
Note that printing seems to behave like OOo2.3.1 (ie I get the tick and a few
other symbols but most of the other symbols show as boxes).
Strangely with that .font.conf I see more symbols on screen but after printing
most of them, magically switch to displaying boxes (presumably 'cos it has
decided to switch fonts for some reason).
I'll try this all again with 2.4.0rc5 once I've finished downloading it.
