[Bug 2129399] Postscript standard symbol font is not looked up
correctly
by bugzilla@redhat.com

(In reply to Akira TAGOH from comment #24)

I was looking at how to achieve this. I couldn't get the "symbol" flag working
which I supposed would help here (but would need changes in poppler when
creating pattern). Other possibility seems the "prefer" element which works
here for me.
Do you think that adding something like this to config files of suitable fonts
wouldn't break things?:
<alias>
<family>Symbol</family>
<prefer><family>DejaVu Sans</family></prefer>
</alias>
