I've looked also at several other distros, and only 9.3 seems to be correctly behaving according to what fonts.conf seems to be prescribing.
I'm not sure I follow you. What is the bug exactly? fc-match -v "helvetica" gives Nimbus Sans L as described on both 10.0 and 10.1
I now have an edited version of that page for the purpose of the following screenshots at: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/font-helvetica-suse.html Konqueror ignores that Nimbus Sans L alias in both 9.3 http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/fonts-helv-suse093-096-16-konq.png and 10.0 http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/fonts-helv-suse100-096-16-konq.png IOW, in Konq in both 9.3 & 10.0 you always get Helvetica when Helvetica is requested (if Helvetica is installed). Firefox 1.0.7 & 1.5.0.1 in 9.3 obey the alias regardless of the firefox pref setting for sans-serif: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/fonts-helv-suse093-096-16-ff.png but in 10.0 both ignore it if the firefox pref for sans-serif is set to anything other than "sans-serif" http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/fonts-helv-suse100-096-16-ff.png IOW, in FF, in 10.0, you get Nimbus Sans L when Helvetica is requested only if the FF pref is set to "sans-serif". The bug (assuming the browsers aren't working as intended) is that Nimbus Sans L is ever not displayed by the browsers when Helvetica is requested. Whether the bug(s) is/are in the browsers or fontconfig or something else I wouldn't have any idea. There's a separate bug with the alias>sans-serif>prefer list. In that 10.0 (and 9.3) list, Vera Sans is first, and Verdana second. When the browser sans-serif pref is set to "sans-serif", both browsers use Verdana (if installed) instead of the #1 entry Vera Sans. BTW, if it hasn't been already, Vera Sans should be replaced by DejaVu Sans for 10.1. -- "Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord."
