Hi, I noticed that fontconfig gets confused when finds a family of fonts with styles like "expanded" or "condensed", or weights as "book". In such circumstances only one of the styles/weights can be selected, and the others remain completely unusable. I''m not a hacker, but I guess that it is not very difficult to fix this; if fontconfig can distinguish "light" from "normal", then it could do so with "book", "medium condensed", or whatever as well. This is the only "obstacle" (I don''t know the English word) I find in fontconfig. Many thanks to the developers for their work. -- ernest
