I've looked also at several other distros, and only 9.3 seems to be
correctly behaving according to what fonts.conf seems to be prescribing.
I'm not sure I follow you. What is the bug exactly? fc-match -v "helvetica"
gives Nimbus Sans L as described on both 10.0 and 10.1
I now have an edited version of that page for the purpose of the
following screenshots at:
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/font-helvetica-suse.html
Konqueror ignores that Nimbus Sans L alias in both 9.3
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/fonts-helv-suse093-096-16-konq.png
and 10.0
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/fonts-helv-suse100-096-16-konq.png
IOW, in Konq in both 9.3 & 10.0 you always get Helvetica when Helvetica
is requested (if Helvetica is installed).
Firefox 1.0.7 & 1.5.0.1 in 9.3 obey the alias regardless of the firefox
pref setting for sans-serif:
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/fonts-helv-suse093-096-16-ff.png
but in 10.0 both ignore it if the firefox pref for sans-serif is set to
anything other than "sans-serif"
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/fonts-helv-suse100-096-16-ff.png
IOW, in FF, in 10.0, you get Nimbus Sans L when Helvetica is requested
only if the FF pref is set to "sans-serif".
The bug (assuming the browsers aren't working as intended) is that
Nimbus Sans L is ever not displayed by the browsers when Helvetica is
requested. Whether the bug(s) is/are in the browsers or fontconfig or
something else I wouldn't have any idea.
There's a separate bug with the alias>sans-serif>prefer list. In that
10.0 (and 9.3) list, Vera Sans is first, and Verdana second. When the
browser sans-serif pref is set to "sans-serif", both browsers use
Verdana (if installed) instead of the #1 entry Vera Sans.
BTW, if it hasn't been already, Vera Sans should be replaced by DejaVu
Sans for 10.1.
