GPL and Apache licenses are not compatible with LGPL. Whether the
distinction is meaningful for fonts is debatable, but I think it's
better to follow the same guidelines as the rest of the code.

The Symbola license looks OK, though you'd of course need to give proper
credit even if not required.

It's also not clear that copying the glyphs is the right approach, as
opposed to for instance setting up font replacements.
