Well, well, well... I followed your recommendation and it took me about
one minute to fix the problem.

:-)

I run debian, and now I have to find out what the files in the two
directories under /etc/fonts are for. At a glance they appear to be
extensions of the fonts.conf file and I should likely look in the debian
documentation for more information.

When I think of the time I spent looking at fonts.conf for something
that might be clashing with my aliases.. 

I should have remembered that debian love splitting config files into a
myriad of smaller units, and have a bunch of symlinks to make things a
little more difficult.  :-)

Thanks much for solving this!
