First of all, who says publishers (or editors) don't have fonts that
include these symbols?  It is rarely necessary or even desirable for
the publisher to use the exact font that an author uses:  the font
used by a journal is part of that journal's style.)  Publishers own
and use hundreds or even thousands of fonts;  using the correct font
is their job, not the author's responsibility.  If a publisher needs
a font they don't have, I expect the publisher to go out and get it.

In practice, it is usually sufficient for an author to provide a
document that shows the correct symbols (even written in by hand,
if necessary), nevermind the font used.
