We do setup a custom version of this in our workspace, so my edits are immediately available to all. This does not seem to drive the favorites directly however, It might allow a common reference to shared symbols which are not located under the same code in different fonts, but there is scant documentation of how any of that might work. I did discover a preference XML file that appears to be where favorites are saved, but that is not setup in a manner that suggests it as a shared resource - it being found in the users profile area.

And how does one setup shared symbol favorites?

I modified my local copy of MstnFontConfig.xml and placed a copy in our common workspace. The favorites are available to all users. Making edits to that dile in the workspace share is not easy. I made one attempt, which failed. It's been a long time since I looked at it. They are tied to the front that was used to create them because I believe the unicode may be specific to that font. Not sure though.
