While some of us would never again consider using bitmap fonts on the screen, there are still people who prefer them in some applications, especially applications which are presenting information that isn't intended for printing (mail readers, terminal emulators, web browers). If your application wants to display only scalable fonts in it's menu, then the fontconfig listing functions can be directed to supply only scalable names. > No, I want only my app to use vector fonts.

Then we need to find a way to have your application ask for scalable fonts; in particular, if it asks for Times, it's going to get Times with the current architecture. Is there some particular reason you want to use this family name? > What about a possbility to provide parametrical match.

I'd like to avoid further complexity in the library interface if possible; perhaps you can explain how your application managed to get the 'Times' name in the first place so we can figure out a way to get the desired result. -keith
