However, when I use "courier" instead of "sans-serif", I get font '/usr/share/fonts/URW/n022003l.pfb' which is not a truetype font and therefore can't be used with VDR's font rendering. Is there a way to make fontconfig only return truetype fonts? Also: is there a way to get a list of available truetype fonts from fontconfig? That's what would be needed to allow the user to select a desired font in VDR's Setup/OSD menu.
