For example one user has Times as Type1 font (scalable) so on another computer we want to get a similar family (giving Times should give us TTF Times New Roman because this user doesn't have Type1 Times). > > What about a possbility to provide parametrical match.

Tomek PS For now I use FcFontSort and l look up the returned list until I find first scalable font. But this doesn't seem to be The Right Thing.
