 Yes, but this will *always* replace Helvetica with Verdana, even if
 you select helvetica in an application font menu.

Sorry for the long time it took to reply Keith, but Christmas kept me
busy around here ;)
The solution you gave me, worked of course, and Im now enjoying nice AA
fonts.

Thanks and keep up your good work,
Michael

[Fonts]fontconfig alias question

[Michael Guntsche]

Hello List,

I recently installed mozilla-xft from debian unstable, which uses xft2
and fontconfig to render the fonts. It works quite well, apart from one
problem, aliases.
Take two fonts for example:
Helvetica and Verdana
I have both installed on my system, verdana being a TTF font and
helvetica being the one that comes with X.
Is it possbile to substitute/alias the Helvetica font with Verdana even
if both are installed? (fc-list shows both)
Right now I have this in the fonts.conf file

  alias
familyHelvetica/family
acceptfamilyVerdana/family/accept
  /alias

and it doesn't work.
If I put something like helvetica1 in the alias and change the
html-page to use it, I get verdana.

Thanks in advance,
Michael
