<pre>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:
<a href="https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15833">https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15833</a>
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:

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