Mozilla-based browsers such as Epiphany don't seem to be able to use
certain fonts, including "times new roman", "nimbus roman no9 l" and
"nimbus mono l".

I have attached a test case that should demonstrate the problem--open
it, scroll down and check out the text flagged in red.  Note that the
font that the text is rendered in is the same as the default 'serif'
fallback font.

Title: Mozilla font selection test

Mozilla font selection test

To make sure the test results are meaningful, make sure you have the following packages installed:

  • msttcorefonts
  • gsfonts

Then test that fontconfig is correctly matching font names: 

$ fc-match 'helvetica'
NimbusSanL-Regu.pfb: "Nimbus Sans L" "Regular"

$ fc-match 'arial'
Arial-Regular.ttf: "Arial" "Normal"

$ fc-match 'nimbus sans l'
NimbusSanL-Regu.pfb: "Nimbus Sans L" "Regular"

$ fc-match 'times'
NimbusRomNo9L-Regu.pfb: "Nimbus Roman No9 L" "Regular"

$ fc-match 'times new roman'
TimesNewRoman-Regular.ttf: "Times New Roman" "Normal"

$ fc-match 'nimbus roman no9 l'
NimbusRomNo9L-Regu.pfb: "Nimbus Roman No9 L" "Regular"

$ fc-match courier
NimbusMonL-Regu.pfb: "Nimbus Mono L" "Regular"

$ fc-match 'courier new'
CourierNew-Regular.ttf: "Courier New" "Normal"

$ fc-match 'nimbus mono l'
NimbusMonL-Regu.pfb: "Nimbus Mono L" "Regular"

Ugh, never mind, it turns out this was the fault of a stupid typo. I
can't believe I didn't spot that!
