[Bug 2259962] New: noto symbol font incorrect for PDF / Postscript

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2259962

            Bug ID: 2259962
           Summary: noto symbol font incorrect for PDF / Postscript
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 39
               URL: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SrcMEFqI26un4MAxh2OHd
                    oTbOi9hgM4v
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: google-noto-fonts
          Keywords: Desktop
          Severity: medium
          Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com
          Reporter: vk2bea(a)gmail.com
        QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
                CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,
                    i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,
                    petersen(a)redhat.com, pwu(a)redhat.com, tagoh(a)redhat.com
  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora



google-noto-fonts package installs configuration files - 
/etc/fonts/conf.d/58-google-noto-sans-symbols2.conf
and
/etc/fonts/conf.d/58-google-noto-sans-symbols-vf.conf

which cause Postscript platform font /Symbol to use NotoSansSymbols[wght].ttf
# fc-match Symbol
NotoSansSymbols[wght].ttf: "Noto Sans Symbols" "Regular"

This font does not have the glyphs required for the standard platform font
"Symbol" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_(typeface)
This should not hijack /Symbol name ... the correct file could be
StandardSymbolsPS.t1.

This results in PDF files that use the Symbol font to produce no or wrong
characters for the glyphs (example /Omega or /degree (see PDF file
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SrcMEFqI26un4MAxh2OHdoTbOi9hgM4v).
This file renders correctly using browsers (Chrome Firefox or Ghostscript)
because they include Postscript core fonts but evince, okular, atril rely on
Fedora to provide fonts. These applications do not render the symbol glyphs

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
view PDF with symbol glyphs from Postscript standard symbol font
Actual Results:  
no symbol glyphs shown for PDF viewers using Fedora fonts (rather than built in
Postscript core fonts)

I can reproduce in a Rawhide Live image (though not in my SB39 host).
