You deleted all the fonts under "/usr/share/fonts/" path? :-? > I started font-manager (which I believed to be inactive since I > commented out the corresponding entries in ~/.fonts.conf).

Not sure about the steps you did but what solved the problem for me was renaming/moving MS TrueType Symbol font from "/usr/local/share/fonts/" thus forcing the system to use another one. > my conclusion: > - no idea what went wrong before I installed font-manager I don't think this is something related to font-manager :-? > - symbol.ttf which comes with cernroot is behaving strangely > using it for displaying causes wrong displaying of non embedded greek > letters. The behaviour you get is similar to mine, despite in my case the source of the symbol font was different than yours. > - if you create pdfs always embed fonts Always, always, always... some recommendations are good in theory but not that good when you put in practice :-P - I learned the gs command to repair pdfs. By reinjecting/embedding the fonts, that's indeed a good trick when you have no access to the original document. - ttf files not only help displaying fonts, they can also break it. This is not because of TTF but a bug coming from a different place (in wheezy the problem is not present even using symbol.ttf).
