If I remember correctly, a while ago you told me that gtk font selector
should be working correctly as well. The thing is that it does show
"extraordinary" typefaces for let's say DejaVu LGC Sans, but for Arial
the list is pretty much busted - please see the screenshot I attached to
the Red Hat bug #466678 (mentioned in the first email). Which software
could be responsible for this? I suspected fontconfig.
