Hmm, at a glance, I'm not sure either.

This part is significant. The "l" gets chopped off "Symbol" basically
through this "length 1 sub" I think. I've no idea why. But even then
there's the question of the definition of l and W in the Symbol font.
Maybe somebody who knows more about font encodings and StandardEncoding
and whatever can tell us more.

In the worst case, it's possible that one of us can point you to a tool
that does what you need without such weirdness. (-:
