it seems like there are quite a lot of bugs about fontconfig doing the
wrong thing. here's one more.
when trying to match plain Courier (non-bold, non-oblique) with
additional constraint "spacing=0" you end up with Bold, Oblique Nimbus
Mono.
Here's
$ FC_DEBUG=1 fc-match Courier:spacing=0
on my hardy box:

n022024l.pfb: "Nimbus Mono L" "Bold Oblique"
Without specifying "spacing=0" I get the expected output (or at least an
acceptable one: "Nimbus regular", although I would prefer one of the fonts I
explicitly installed from liberation or the courier from msttcorefonts).
So why do I care about "spacing=0"? This is what poppler requests when
you open the attached PDF file using evince. The PDF includes no font
information since "Courier" is one of the PDF base fonts. fontconfig
gives evince the bold/oblique font which results in incorrect output.
