Thanks a lot, but I'm not using Synaptic.

I solved it by patching src/af/gr/xp/gr_CairoGraphics.cpp:

  @@ -2688,10 +2688,10 @@
   //  and acutally cause problem on Mac with Cairo as it never finds the
   //  font "Standards Symbols L" -- hub
   //
  -//     if(pszFontFamily && !strcmp(pszFontFamily, "Symbol"))
  -//     {
  -//             pszFontFamily = "Standard Symbols L";
  -//     }
  +       if(pszFontFamily && !strcmp(pszFontFamily, "Symbol"))
  +       {
  +               pszFontFamily = "Standard Symbols L";
  +       }

          if(pszFontStyle && *pszFontStyle == 'n')
                  pStyle = "";

I don't know who hub is, but he seems responsible for the bug.
