In src/modules/X11/devX11.c you will find
static char *symbolname = "-*-symbol-*-*-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*";
and you might want to change the first * to adobe.
I don't think this is an R bug though: you seem to be saying that the
-urw-symbol font on your system does not work. It should display
something, and if that is really a symbol font, it should display the
correct characters. What exactly is wrong?
There seems no way we can reproduce this. Could you perhaps show some
screenshots? (To R-devel: this is not yet known to be a bug and R-bugs
mangles attachments.)
