Same problem here (Debian GNU/Linux testing, fontconfig 2.2.1-13)
with the ?Courier? font (from the gsfonts-x11 package, I believe).
This is probably a fontconfig problem, not an Xft problem, because
I see this in OpenOffice which (in its Debian incarnation) as far
as I know uses the former, but not the latter

Hello,

I am using fontconfig 2.2.90 and Xft 2.1.2 on FreeBSD 4.8, and I have a
little problem - some fonts are italic by default in all applications
that use Xft. I am using TTF fonts from MS Windows.

For example, when I invoke

# xterm -fa "Courier New"

I see the xterm with italic font. However

# xterm -fa "Courier New:regular"

works allright. Some fonts are OK (e.g. Tahoma), regular by default.

You can see my fonts.conf file at this address, but I don''t think
there''s a problem in the config file:

Any advice?

Thanks,

Tomas
