It should be noted that the standard aliases are not the same as the
fonts selected in the GNOME font properties dialog; the standard
fontconfig names are configurable only through /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
and ~/.fonts.conf.
The reason that we didn't try to make them follow the user's font
configuration is that it was problematic to have the font a particular
name referred to change while a program was running, while the fonts
in the font preferences dialog should take affect immediately.
