Hello,
The viewing ot the attached file is correct with xpsd and acroread, but is wrong with evince. The correct character is a \Delta with the wrong character for me is \Phi.
Would you know what is wrong?
Thank.

It's a delta symbol here.
$ rpm -q evince evince-3.10.3-1.fc20.x86_64
What kind of desktop environment do you run? Maybe you've customised/changed it to end up with a fonts issue?

U2 should know better after years of use. F20 ain't an official, so https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

FWIW, on Fedora 19+updates, it's a phi symbol. I'm running the standard Gnome 3 desktop.

You're mistaken. I mentioned F20 evince for comparison and under the assumption that the OP uses F19 or older (no details known at all, even the used desktop environment may make a difference).

Do you've a screenshoot of what should one seen? I only manage to see a \Delta sign on my Evince (and on Google Drive)

Running Gnome 3 in F19 up to date, and I see a \Delta here.
$ rpm -q evince evince-3.8.3-2.fc19.x86_64

Can we finally agree on anything!? LoL!
We do already, don't we? With the feedback from the various users of Fedora 18, 19 and 20, where the Delta displays correctly, it seems to boil down to a configuration issue. Mission objective would be to find out what changes an installation to end up with displaying a Phi instead of a Delta. Perhaps fonts packages? Perhaps pulled in as dependencies for something?
Also worth a try would be to create a fresh user account and try to reproduce the problem with that account. If it's not reproducible, it could be the installed packages.

One interesting thing I discovered, at least on my F19 system, is if I highlight (copy) the Phi and then paste it into a terminal the resulting character is a delta.

Allegedly, on or about 29 November 2013, Ed Greshko sent:

That seriously points to it being a broken font, then.
What's on the page is an instruction to print character number whatever. Depending on what's in the font, will be what you see.
If you copy and paste the text, you're copying the data about which (numbered) characters are there. It'd take something that copies the data, plus the formatting, and re-applies the same formatting (and therefor same font), for an error to be repeated.
The original poster could test that out in any editor that lets them change fonts. Type the character out several times, and change the font for each of them, separately. When you pick a broken font, it'll change what it looks like.

Agreed.... And, FWIW....
∅ = U+2205 (What I see on one system) ∆ = U+2206 (What I see on a working system and what it is when looking at the bits)

In looking at the document's properties and selecting the "fonts" tab I noticed that it was using /usr/share/fonts/google-croscore/SymbolNeu.ttf for symbols on my F19 system. This comes with the google-croscore-symbolneu-fonts package. Erasing this package resulted in a "delta" being displayed as /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/s050000l.pfb is now being used.

FWIW, the same issue exists in the current F20 Beta. I'll be filling a bugzilla on this.....
