Yes. It is disabled by default, so there will be no change to what we're
having so far. Only if you explicitly give this option, something will
change.

It sure is, but there may be no Symbol (which AbiWord assumes and requests)
available as well. Is that a problem? We assume that there is Symbol (or
fontconfig will find us a substitute which may be suitable or not). Now you
can configure to use Standard Symbols L (which may be available or fontconfig
will find us a substitute which may be suitable or not). That doesn't worsen
anything, does it? (It does indeed improve things for people having Standard
Symbols L.)
