Strange font mixup.

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?

Thanks,
Jonathan
