This problem clearly has something to do with the difference between patterns presented by KDE and those presented by Gnome, but fontconfig should be able to get the right answer in both cases unless the KDE application is sending something wrong to the library. Let's try to get that information out of the application: $ FC_DEBUG=5 kedit should show both the original pattern presented by the application and the edits applied by the configuration before matching occurs. That'll tell whether KDE is doing something unexpected or whether the Debian fontconfig package has some 'improvements' which generate the wrong result in this case. -keith
