on install of dejavu-lgc-fonts fc-match "Thorndale AMT" now says... DejaVuLGCSerif.ttf: "DejaVu LGC Serif" "Book" instead of "Nimbus Roman No9 L" Thorndale AMT is our RHEL "Times New Roman" metrically equivalent font. So on RHEL fc-match "Times New Roman" when the agfa monotype fonts are installed should say "Thorndale AMT", so that .docs opened in e.g. OOo look as close to msword as possible. That's still ok. On FC, fc-match "Times New Roman" should say "Nimbus Roman No9 L", that's still ok. But On FC, fc-match "Thorndale AMT" should follow the "Times New Roman" logic and give us "Nimbus Roman No9 L", so that stuff created in RHEL looks close to correct on non-agfa installs, but with dejavu-lgc installed gives one of the deja-vu fonts instead.
Created attachment 133312 [details] possible patch I'm not fontconfig config literate, but this patch to fontconfig's fonts.conf does what I want, explicitly set Nimbus No 9 Roman L as the preferred Thorndale AMT fallback, and while I'm at it set the "upstream" afga monotypes names as shipped as Staroffice as aliases to their "AMT" extension names as shipped in RHEL. i.e. fix my problem :-) and make documents written in StarOffice look right when opened with OpenOffice.org in RHEL/FC
Behdad, does the patch look okay?
Yes, looks okay. I'll push it in later, but feel free to do.
