You can probably get away with changing "same" to "strong". What this test does is look for where someone has a requested Helvetica and Prefer Outline as font characteristics and change the selected font to Arial. Strong binding generally is where the font has been asked for specifically, weak binding generally means someone has asked for a generic font such as "sans-serif" and elsewhere in fontconfig it has been converted to a set of weak binding family names of known fonts. I guess its because xfree 4.3 has a later version of fontconfig with the "same" parameter added. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+aPIwuFHxcV2FFoIRAs+nAJ4zP+l0dCu+De3vDEssG7Jy7/rdkQCfS/AC HqKvlCzcxD+EFjDu6N2f6SM= =+jEJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
