Hi,
I'm trying to use the fc commands in order to have a list of fonts that
are sans-serif fonts, or monospaced fonts. I've found that for
monospaced font the command 'fc-list ":spacing=mono" family' does the
trick, but i've no idea about how to select sans-serif fonts.
What I don't understand is that there's already a mechanism in font
config files to associate a generic family like sans-serif alias to
actual fonts.
That mechanism doesn't use a font property, but expands "sans" etc. to a
list of well-known alternatives, which is then matched against what you
actually have on your system.
Generally if you do
fc-match --sort sans-serif
fc-match --sort serif
the sans-serif or serif fonts will come out first, but I don't think
there's any guarantee about what the fonts at the end of the list will
look like.
