However these came back just like plain "arial":

   arial:width=50
   arial:width=200
   arial:width=ultracondensed

and

   arial normal
   arial condensed

both changed the font to Deja Sans, but glyph widths didn't vary (within
that font).
It didn't work with "Times" or "Times New Roman" either.

Is there some trick for width/condensed?


Check with

  fc-list '' family width | grep -i arial

what combinations of family x width you actually have in the cache.

For example, I don't have an entry called 'Arial' that has any other width than 100. I do have 'Arial Narrow MT' but that's another family and to get it I have to use

  fc-match 'Arial Narrow MT'

'Arial Condensed' as in your example would be understood as family name by FcNameParse but if there's no appropriate rule in place it won't get mapped to 'Arial Narrow MT'.

So to get 'Arial:width=75' mapped to 'Arial Narrow MT', or to get 'Arial Condensed' mapped to the same, you'd have to write fontconfig rules.
