Ie, if the font is installed, these: :; fc-match DejaVuSansMono :; fc-match 'DejaVu Sans Mono' give the same result. But to use aliases you need to have all possibilities accounted for in the conf. It is also related to the issue that libs like poppler pass PS names to fontconfig whereas fontconfig caches the full names. (For Type1 fc caches the /FullName, poppler passes the /FontName; for sfnts poppler passes the TT_NAME_ID_PS_NAME, which fc explicitly ignores: #if 0 case TT_NAME_ID_PS_NAME: case TT_NAME_ID_UNIQUE_ID: #endif ) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/130687/comments/3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2008-12-17T11:41:09+00:00 Freedesktop wrote: Ah I see.

That may be one issue, but isn't necessary going to help with PS-names. e.g. NimbusSansL-Regu is never going to match a full name or family name. PS-names and family names are really quite different.

Right. PS-names are a different issue and that's bug 18095. Retitling again.

I've decided to include a workaround patch for this issue so far because I want to give priority releasing new version since there hasn't seen for awhile. I'll have a look at your patch once new release is out.

Well, that might be good start to work on Bug#18095 though, I'm not sure how it helps for this since this is to handle the white spaces in the family name on alias. (In reply to comment #3) > We prolly need a new comparison operator for the config file that compares > ignoring case and blanks. Then we can update all the config files to use > that. I'd vote this idea. we could force using FcStrCmpIgnoreBlanksAndCase() for family but is there any cases one strictly needs to check the white spaces in the string? otherwise can we simply use it for string too?
