Public bug reported:
The symbol.ttf font installed by this package contains an infinity
symbol where a bullet should be. You can check this by opening Character
Map, selecting the Symbol font and navigating to character 0x2022 (name
"BULLET", description "small black circle") and observing that the
actual character displayed there looks like an infinity symbol (or
rather an 8 on its side).
Among other things this is causing bullet points in PDF's to be
displayed as infinity symbols by Evince.
The place where the infinity symbol *should* be also appears to contain
the wrong character, if you go to character 0x221e (name "INFINITY"), it
actually displays an open circle. Many other characters also appear to
be wrong, so possibly this is intentional and has to do with some weird
Windows compatibility issue, but if that is the case, this font should
not be installed as the default Symbols font for the entire operating
system!
