Comment 19 for bug 789479

Indeed, the issue is with the unicode encoding. In my case, e.g., the degree sign (U+00B0) was rendered as uppercase Upsilon which is wrongly mapped in the wine's Symbol font by the same code. And wine's unicode code for the degree symbol is U+221e, which normally refers to the math infinity sign.

I think it would be great if this font was somehow prevented to override other system fonts for native linux applications, even after the unicode mismatch issue is corrected. Why my usual linux apps should be forced to use a wine's font?
