            Bug ID: 107138
           Summary: Default Alias for ZapfDingbats font
           Product: fontconfig
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: conf
          Assignee: fontconfig-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: hanno at hboeck.de

I recently had an issue with a misrendered PDF, the reason was that my system
was unable to properly replace the (proprietary) ZapfDingbats font (see
#107002).

It turns out this is a rather common problem, see e.g. here:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15833

It seems by default fontconfig comes with no replacement alias for it. Ideally
this should be fixed in fontconfig.

Interestingly the Changelog already contains a note that this has been fixed
before:

    Bug 19128 - Handling whitespace in aliases

    Add a workaround alias for Dingbats.

It probably got lost due to some restructuring, the file 30-urw-aliases.conf is
no longer part of fontconfig.
