The change to EC.enc seems to be correct an I think
that I should update that file. Is there a way to get
CTAN:fonts/utilities/vplutils/encodings/EC.enc changed, too?

I am not sure about symbol.enc, since Malyshev's comment explicitly
refers to URW fonts. Is CTAN:utilities/vplutils/encodings/symbol.enc
correct for Adobe fonts? How can this mismatch (Adobe vs. URW) be
solved?
