--- Comment #34 from pst...@gmail.com ---
Following-up on a thread in the R-Sig-Fedora mailing list where the same bug
was discussed. I initially posted in bug 2088665 "Noto Sans is chosen to
display symbol characters it doesn't contain", which I think probably is the
same underlying issue, but the bug title here is probably more pertinent, as
was pointed out to me.

As has been suggested above, the work-around is to make a .fonts.conf file in
~/ 

The following substitution is working nicely for me: 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>

  <match target="pattern">
    <test name="family" qual="any" >
      <string>Symbol</string>
    </test>
    <edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="same">
      <string>OpenSymbol</string>
    </edit>
  </match>

</fontconfig>


The OpenSymbol font comes from libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts if you need to
install it, though you'll probably have it already as it comes with Libre
Office (though I've heard that RHEL will / has stopped shipping with Libre
Office? I also don't know whether e.g., a flat-packed libre office would make
such fonts available for system-wide use). Nonetheless, if you don't have
OpenSymbol for whatever reason, installing it is straight-forward.
