You might try Googling font "substitution," "mapping" tends to get used for a different purpose (e.g. the placement of characters within the font table). If you look in "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf" you should be able to see how they've set up aliasing for mono and sans-serif fonts, and you should be able to do something similar for specfic fonts (i.e. provide a list of fonts to be treated as requests to use your preferred font). You might want to include the generic sans-serif name in that list. Also pay attention to the note, in that file, about using local.conf for your own font customisations, instead of modifying fonts.conf. Create the file if it doesn't already exist. I've got to go through this sort of thing, myself. But haven't got organised yet. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, all using Gnome in case that's important to the thread.)
