This was a known problem. Fontconfig had (and I believe still has) very poor support for Postscript fonts. Almost all my commercial fonts are handled in the way you described.
If I install my Futura fonts in Gnome 2.12 in Ubuntu 5.10 and fontconfig-2.3.2 the names are displayed wrong. The fonts have names like - Futura Lt Bt - Futura Md Bt - Futura Bk Bt But all I see is a large list of "Futura" and "Futura Italic" and other wrong and undistinguishable names. This always worked under Gnome 2.8 and fontconfig-2.2.3. Is this a bug or is there some help available? It would help if I could name the fonts manually in some file.
