On my system w/o the adobe fonts - I made the following: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <!-- conf.d/sub-pixel.conf --> <fontconfig> <alias> <family>Helvetica-Narrow</family> <accept><family>Nimbus Sans L Condensed</family></accept> </alias> </fontconfig> AbiWord (which uses fontconfig) still only used Nimbus Sans L for the rtf that has both Hevetica and Helvetica-Narrow defined. When I changed <family>Helvetica-Narrow</family> to <family>Helvetica Narrow</family> (using space and not dash) and ran sed on rtf file to change it there, it then behaved as it should. So I think I might be able to figure out a with a match directive to have it properly match Helvetica-Narrow (with the -) with the condensed URW replacement - and if I do, I'll submit that as a patch to fedora bugzilla. But that would not solve the problem of having the real Helvetica-Narrow installed reported in the bugzilla at the beginning of this thread, where fontconfig is grabbing the metrics from Helvetica but grabbing the shapes from Helvetica-Narrow. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
