Reading the man page for: fc-match it asserts it: -s Displays sorted list of best matching fonts assumedly: using the normal fontconfig matching rules to find the best font available whatever those are. I have read files, and do not see any obvious specification of 'priorities' Installed are: [herrold@centos-7 unsorted]$ rpm -qa | sort | grep font abattis-cantarell-fonts-0.0.25-1.el7.noarch

would _like_ to have the old URW fontset back, unsatisfactory as it is considered in modern practice, present and working, but at whatever the lowest preferance priority is, so that I have the old PDF base series exact matched I do not attach, as it contains Personally Identificable Information, a form from the US Social Security Administration, and another from an insurance carrier I use, and neither is useful in Linux. See a PII sanitized screenshot: http://gallery.herrold.com/stuff/nasty-laying-PDF.png I am happy to file a bug, either in the Red Hat tracker or elsewhere as needed, and to reply to any questions Please let me know -- Russ herrold _______________________________________________ fonts mailing list -- fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to fonts-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
