Plotmath on Fedora 31 broken with with pango >= 1.44 - workarounds?
Dear list
On Fedora 31 the pango library has recently updated to version >= 1.44
and in doing so has switched to using the HarfBuzz library (from
FreeType) and dropped Adobe Type 1 font support. This causes problems
with plotmath as all bar one of the glyphs doesn't render (see
attached PNG image if it makes it through the list filters - if not I
have shared a copy via my google drive:

Adding devel at lists.fp.o to CC. A workaround is to avoid using PS fonts
for symbols. If you run the following, you'll see
$ fc-match Symbol
StandardSymbolsPS.t1: "Standard Symbols PS" "Regular"
So let's change this. Install a TTF symbol font, such as Symbola:
$ sudo dnf install gdouros-symbola-fonts
Then add the following to /etc/fonts/local.conf (system-wide) or

if we can arrive at a more permanent fix. I'll report back with any

@Martin: Meanwhile, at least you have options. One is to embed the fonts,
either as Peter suggested or using cairo_pdf instead. Alternatively, Peter
also has shown

Martin, I wouldn't rule out an R issue yet. Fonts are... tricky. So I'm
cc'ing Paul Murrell here.
I tried several viewers here and I see the following: Chrome, Firefox and
Libreoffice Draw show the symbols; however, evince, okular and xournal++
agree on **not** showing the symbols. **If** there is a bug, the bug would
be in fontconfig, because these ones AFAIK properly delegate on
