On Ubuntu, nothing needs to be changed in the fontconfig configuration. I'm guessing this is the general case (but maybe not). See $ fc-list "Nimbus Sans L" family style width Nimbus Sans L:style=Regular Italic:width=100 Nimbus Sans L:style=Bold:width=100 Nimbus Sans L:style=Regular:width=100 Nimbus Sans L:style=Bold Condensed:width=75 Nimbus Sans L:style=Bold Italic:width=100 Nimbus Sans L:style=Regular Condensed Italic:width=75 Nimbus Sans L:style=Regular Condensed:width=75 Nimbus Sans L:style=Bold Condensed Italic:width=75 Web designers can use the CSS font-stretch property although no browser I know of will apply it. It would be used as such: style="font-stretch: condensed", or style="font-stretch: narrower" with font-family: Nimbus Sans L. The lack of support for this CSS property has already been reported for Mozilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3512 Have a good day, Denis Moyogo Jacquerye _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
