Please > let me know if I'm missing what you implied with X and Y above. I implied that the fonts that are automatically aliased to, say, "monospace" truly need nothing. The ones that don't alias need something more. The reason I brought this up is that if I want a particular font package, it's reasonable to assume I want that font for the aliases as well. And I'm not considering order of preference in this. That is below.
