FC_DEBUG=1 gives you some stuff... The thing is, the logic is happening inside fontconfig, and is not as simple as you want it to be. Font configuration files can (and do) alter the obvious lookups you mention above. What may be useful is running: $ fc-match calibri,tahoma,arial,sans-serif but that ignore a lot of variants, like the language of the current run of text. -- behdad http://behdad.org/ "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
