I actually ran into this file just yesterday, while troubleshooting a
misbehaving PDF file. These are the aliases recommended by
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/poppler/ to work around historical
issues.

The ZapfDingbats alias looks like a workaround for fdo#19128 (Debian
#590487, LP: #130687). It's fixed upstream in fontconfig 2.9.0.

The Symbol alias looks like a workaround for fdo#6478 (LP: #37745). It's
fixed upstream in fontconfig 2.3.95. (I suspect that change actually
introduced Debian #528808).

As these both have upstream fixes now, IMO this file can be dropped.
