The only symbol.ttf I can find in Wheezy at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages is in the libwine package. Is that the correct file? I hope so, because I went to a lot of trouble to download and install it. :) Bad news: libwine has symbol.ttf in /usr/share/wine/fonts and the OP's pdf displays mu, as it should. Good news (maybe): moving symbol.ttf to /usr/share/fonts reproduces the OP's problem - mu is displayed as a proportionality symbol. I may as well throw in something I came across earlier today: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700729 But this is a different distribution and, in any case, the location of the Debian wine fonts doesn't affect the pdf. The OP needs to move files out of the fonts directory to isolate the cause. Either that or, as a way of working round it, use mupdf, which has the fonts compliled into the binary. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
