Description of problem: Since there seems some buggy fonts, that may be a good idea to add an option to stop classifying the fonts in sans-serif, serif, monospace and so on. this enhancements may helps for Bug#803192 say to add it for the expected alias. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fonts-tweak-tool-0.0.3-1.fc17.noarch
Tested fonts-tweak-tool for Malayalam. My system had smc-meera-fonts (sans), I installed a serif font called smc-anjalioldlipi-fonts-4.4-7.fc17 and selected the same in the application. Applied, but didnt have any effect on the system, instead the same smc-meera-fonts itself is being used without any changes. Thanks Ani
In between i will fix issues for lohit fonts at least. Dunno can we assume that end-user is knowledgeable regarding fonts-style and will select appropriate fonts for his locale for particular style.
Ani, I'm not sure what you did, selecting AnjaliOldLipi for serif works for me: $ fc-match serif:lang=ml AnjaliOldLipi.ttf: "AnjaliOldLipi" "Regular" $ fc-match serif:lang=ml-in AnjaliOldLipi.ttf: "AnjaliOldLipi" "Regular" FWIW you should file a separate bug for Meera like Bug#803192, because it appears in serif, but no sans-serif.

But please let me know where is this change getting applied. Currently, I have selected Anjali under serif, but cant find this change getting applied anywhere. Please advise. Thanks Ani
You can find it out from even the above comment... Don't you have ~/.fonts.conf.d/000-fontstweak-ezfc.conf?
Problem is not with fonts-tweak-tool. Problem is to find application which using systems default serif font. So Ani can just open that application and see changed serif fonts. I am not able to find such application, i believe firefox uses serif but dunno it is not reflecting there. But definitely fonts-tweak-tool doing its job perfectly :)
