老版本，Symbol字体，绘制0x22能够正确的绘制倒三角，绘制0xF022也能正确绘制倒三角
老版本，Symbol [urw]字体，绘制0x22能够正确的绘制倒三角，绘制0xF022也能正确绘制倒三角
新版本，Symbol字体，绘制0x22不能正确绘制倒三角，0xF022也能正确绘制倒三角
新版本，Symbol [urw]字体，绘制0x22能够正确的绘制倒三角，绘制0xF022也能正确绘制倒三角
----------------(The following is the summary)
For Symbol font from M$ Window
In fontconfig 2.8.0 under Ubuntu 12.04(marked as Old Version) and fontconfig
2.10 under Ubuntu 12.10(marked as New Version),

Old Version can draw both characters 0x22 and 0xF022 correctly;
New Version con only draw character 0xF022 correctly, character 0x22 is
displayed as a little square.
