Title:
  fontconfig alias for ZapfDingbats font

Status in Fontconfig - Font Configuration Library:
  Fix Released
Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “fontconfig” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: fontconfig-config

  fontconfig returns the wrong font for ZapfDingbats.

  $ fc-match ZapfDingbats
  DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"

  however it works when looking for Dingbats instead

  $ fc-match Dingbats
  d050000l.pfb: "Dingbats" "Regular"

  Actually I'm not sure whether it should be fixed in every distro or in
  fontconfig. I already commented it to upstreamer without response:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6478#c12

  poppler and consequently evince are affected by this issue, since this
  font is used in pdf files that contains interactive forms.
