Fontconfig - Jun 2009 - Configuration problem

I need some help with configuration because I''m unfamiliar with (and
somehow
can''t get used to) fontconfig''s kind of configuration files.

Here is my problem: I''m using a truetype font name A. This font is
great, but
unfortunately gets ugly when rendered in bold. There is a font B which is
similiar to A and available in good bold quality. What I like to do now, is:
Use A whenever requested style is ''normal'' and B else.

So I need a configuration for:

  if (family == A)
  {
    if (style == normal) return A;
    else return B;
  }

Can someone please help.

Really nobody familiar with the config file syntax?

Even no idea whether it is possible or not what I want to do?

It is. Just a quick example for you.

<match target="pattern">
  <test name="family"><string>Times New
Roman</string></test>
  <test name="weight"
compare="more_eq"><const>bold</const></test>
  <edit name="family"
mode="prepend"><string>Arial</string></edit>
</match>

Thank you so much, you made my day!

It actually only worked with mode="assign" (no idea why), but it
worked.
