My understanding is that if the FontConfig config files don''t provide
mappings for "sans-serif" and friends on a particular system,
you''re out of luck as far as FontConfig APIs go.
Furthermore, there are no official keywords for such generic family names: it
all depends on what keywords are used in that system''s config files.
That said, the default configs that come with FontConfig use a specific set of
keywords and it probably wouldn''t be wise to use different ones when
setting up the system.

Subject: [Fontconfig] font preferences
Hi All!
I have possibly lame question, but I still need answer...
On my system I have aliases and list of font preferences, so using
family "sans-serif" and "monospace" works great. But are
there systems
without those aliases and if there are - how can I get preferred sans
or monospaced font from fontconfig?
Thanx!
