I'm using the genealogic symbols `\textborn` and `\textdied` from the `textcomp` package together with the `kpfonts`.

Unfortunately `kpfonts` loads `textcomp` with the `[full]` option (unless someone specifies `notextcomp`) but seems to modify the appereance of said symbols.

If you try out the following example with and without `kpfonts` you will observe that the symbols get changed to a much heavier, darker version when loading `kpfonts`.

```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[full]{textcomp}
%\usepackage{kpfonts}

\begin{document}

\textborn\,1984, \textdied\,2005

\end{document}

```

I would like to use the original version of these symbols while staying with `kpfonts`. To achieve this I tried saving them using `\let` with no success.

```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[full]{textcomp}
\let\oldtextdied\textdied
\let\oldtextborn\textborn
\usepackage{kpfonts}

\begin{document}

\textborn\,1984, \textdied\,2005

\oldtextborn\,1984, \oldtextdied\,2005

\end{document}

```

Also loading `kpfonts` with `notextcomp` and `textcomp` on its own doesn't change this behavior.

Any ideas how to preserve the original appereance of these symbols?
