Bug 201933: x11-fonts/fontconfig: SymbolNeu Encoding Issue

Patch for fontconfig port

SymbolNeu installed by x11-fonts/croscorefonts-fonts-ttf has an encoding
problem that causes wrong character mapping.  The details are described in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=923346. This font is registered by
30-metric-aliases.conf installed by x11-fonts/fontconfig as a Symbol family
font.

SymbolNeu as "Symbol" font should be disabled unless the encoding issue is
fixed in the upstream.	The attached patch comments out the entries in
30-metric-aliases.conf.  There is no negative impact because one of other fonts
is used as Symbol if required.
