Fontconfig 2.2 tries to extract the weight from the FontInfo dictionary in Type1 fonts, but it does that with string matching so a font with an unexpected value in that table will end up getting 100 by default. > The second problem is with Helvetica.

It looks like there's a bug in fontconfig in it's detection of italic fonts. I've commited a fix for that to fontconfig CVS that's in both the 2.2 branch and head. The head patch also contains some additional diagnostics that will help fix the first problem. If you can run from CVS, please do: $ FC_DEBUG=384 fc-cache -f -v /path/to/gill/sans/font/directory -keith
