Hi Sairus, You are right in that the library itself has no special means for default sans-serif, serif, and monospace styles. The default config, and the common usage however, uses family names "sans-serif", "serif", and "monospace" for that purpose indeed. "sans" also aliases "sans-serif". behdad On 02/28/11 21:21, Sairus Patel wrote: > I can't find FontConfig documentation that describes how exactly a client can request a default sans, sans serif, or monospaced font.
