This is fixed upstream in fontconfig 2.9.0, so Fix Released in Quantal
and later.
Precise is still affected. The workaround is to install the package
"cups-filters", which contains a fontconfig file with an appropriate
alias.

Title:
fontconfig alias for ZapfDingbats font
Status in Fontconfig - Font Configuration Library:
Unknown
Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in Debian GNU/Linux:
Unknown
Bug description:
Binary package hint: fontconfig-config
fontconfig returns the wrong font for ZapfDingbats.
$ fc-match ZapfDingbats
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
however it works when looking for Dingbats instead
$ fc-match Dingbats
d050000l.pfb: "Dingbats" "Regular"
Actually I'm not sure whether it should be fixed in every distro or in
fontconfig. I already commented it to upstreamer without response:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6478#c12
poppler and consequently evince are affected by this issue, since this
font is used in pdf files that contains interactive forms.
