 fc-match -f '%{file}\n' Symbol
     /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/opens___.ttf

 dpkg -S /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/opens___.ttf
     fonts-opensymbol: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/opens___.ttf

 LANG= apt show fonts-opensymbol| sed -n '/^Desc/,$p'
    Description: OpenSymbol TrueType font
     This package contains the OpenSymbol TrueType font included in
     LibreOffice. This font contains symbols (like fonts as Wingdings(tm)),
     bullets (needed for bullets in LibreOffice) and non-latin character

it's unclear if opensymbol expect to be a drop-in replacement for
symbol.ttf but i guess debian people would be happy to be informed.

also:

    locate symbol.ttf
        /usr/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf
        xdg-open /usr/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf
    dpkg -S /usr/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf
        fonts-wine: /usr/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf

so:

    cp /usr/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf ~/.local/share/fonts
    fc-list|grep symbol
        /home/mc/.local/share/fonts/symbol.ttf: Symbol:style=Regular

and now the problem is different: the higher bar of the sqrt symbol
is now up to the symbol itself. not the numeric part.

thanks for helping.
