I am trying to troubleshoot a font mixup on my Debian Sid machine. I am having trouble with the "Courier 10 Pitch" font that is in the xfonts-scalable package. The following packages are installed: XFree86 4.2.1-6 xfonts-scalable 4.2.1-6 Fontconfig 2.2.0-2 For some reason, the regular font is itallic, and the bold itallic font is just bold, as displayed by the KDE font configuration, GNOME2 font-config and Eclipse's internal font configuration. Evolution 1.2.4 finds the correct fonts (id'ed as bitstream-courier), but they are not AA, and it uses a different font selection mechanism. The itallic and bold versions are just fine. I have checked the entries in the cache files and font.dir files, and nothing strange jumps out. I've also verified (using Konqueror's built-in font previewing feature) that the files actually contain the appropriate fonts. How can I troubleshoot this problem? If fontconfig isn't responsible for the mixup, do you have any ideas what would be?
