Interesting. I tried a couple of fc-match calls and that explains it a
bit better:
:; fc-list "Nimbus Sans L" family style width file|egrep Conden
/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/n019043l.pfb: Nimbus Sans L:style=Regular Condensed:width=75
/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/n019044l.pfb: Nimbus Sans L:style=Bold Condensed:width=75
/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/n019063l.pfb: Nimbus Sans L:style=Regular Condensed Italic:width=75
/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/n019064l.pfb: Nimbus Sans L:style=Bold Condensed Italic:width=75
:; fc-list "Nimbus Sans L Condensed" family style width file
/usr/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n019064l.pfb: Nimbus Sans L Condensed:style=Bold Italic:width=100
/usr/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n019063l.pfb: Nimbus Sans L Condensed:style=Regular Italic:width=100
/usr/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n019044l.pfb: Nimbus Sans L Condensed:style=Bold:width=100
/usr/share/fonts/urw-fonts/n019043l.pfb: Nimbus Sans L Condensed:style=Regular:width=100
First, I was wrong about where Gentoo sticks the Ghostscript fonts. The
ones where Condensed is in the style are from:
[I] media-fonts/gnu-gs-fonts-std
Available versions: 6.0 8.11
Installed versions: 8.11
Homepage: http://www.cups.org/
Description: Ghostscript Standard Fonts
(downloadable from Ghostscript's sourceforge page)
and the ones where Condensed is part of the name are from:
[I] media-fonts/urw-fonts
Available versions: 2.1-r2 2.3.6
Installed versions: 2.3.6
Homepage: http://www.urwpp.de/
Description: free good quality fonts gpl'd by URW++
(http://gentoo.osuosl.org/distfiles/urw-fonts-2.3-6.1.1.src.rpm)
The spec file in that RPM points to:
ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/urw/release/urw-fonts-1.0.7pre40.tar.bz2
but there are some other files in the rpm beyond the tar file.
Based on the changelog in the spec file it is from redhat.
So the fonts Ghostscript distributes puts Condensed in the style.
A diff of the two n019043l.afm files shows:
