Your very first comment:
"When using proprietary Symbol font, it's easy to type greek letters in english
keyboard layout"
Fine! But it's impossible to type then an English text with an English keyboard
using this font....
Do you think it's ok?
I think so. Why? Because the purpose of symbol fonts is most of the time to be
used by programs (e.g. Math) or provide a character library which can be
inserted character by character (e.g. using Insert - Special character in OOo)
but NOT to be used while typing!
Even if the word "Symbol" appears in the name of the font "Symbol" and
"OpenSymbol" those are different fonts.
There is no need to have the same mapping in OpenSymbol than in Symbol just like
the Prado does not need to exhibit the Mona Lisa because the Louvres does.
As a defect, this issue is invalid.
As a feature request it is a WONTFIX. As I said, symbol fonts are not made to be
typed. Thus there is no requirement to align ourselves to "Symbol". Allowing
what Symbol does would allow users to *believe* they have entered an alpha
(U+0391) but they have entered a very different character (U+F041 in Symbol and
U+E0AF in OpenSymbol) which is not an alpha but looks like this in Symbol and
OpenSymbol only.
If those fonts are not present of an other system, the character will not
display alpha anymore.
