In addition to what Nicolas Mailhot said, older versions of ariblk.ttf (including the version at http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ I think) do not have the preferred family name "Arial". (I don't know where the fedora10 version of ariblk.ttf comes from.) "ftdump -n /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf/ariblk.ttf" will list the names in the OpenType name table. There are also some quirks with the order of the family names when there are more than one: % LC_ALL=en fc-list : family file | grep Arial\ Black /usr/local/share/fonts/ariblk.ttf: Arial Black,Arial % LC_ALL=en_US fc-list : family file | grep Arial\ Black /usr/local/share/fonts/ariblk.ttf: Arial,Arial Black _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
