Hi, when running with the -dshow-available-fonts option I get (among
others) a list of font familes with entries like the following:
family Verdana
Verdana:style=Standard,Normal,obyčejné,Κανονικά,Regular,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Normalny,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,Arrunta
family Kepler Std
Kepler Std,Kepler Std Light Cn Disp:style=Light Condensed
Display,Regular
What do the different output formats refer to: some with a ":style="
part, some with direct font names.
And in some cases I find multiple entries for a font family
family Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica LT Std:style=Oblique,Italic
family Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica LT Std,Helvetica LT Std Cond:style=Bold Condensed,Bold
family Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica LT Std,Helvetica LT Std Cond:style=Condensed,Regular
(with many more entries in this case).
And these mixes of font name conventions:
family Helvetica Neue LT Std
Helvetica Neue LT Std,HelveticaNeueLT Std Cn:style=77 Bold Condensed
Oblique,Bold Italic
I'm somewhat confused what to make out of this diverse information.
I'm looking into this because I'd like to try making a better dialog
for showing fonts in Frescobaldi.
Here is documentation on FontConfig's naming convention:

LilyPond's output is similar to what you get from `fc-list : family
style`.
Oddly, LilyPond has support to show the file path for a font, but it
doesn't select that property when building the object set. In
font-config-scheme.cc:85 (as of 2.19.82), the call to FcObjectSetBuild
probably should include FC_FILE as well.
On your system, try running `fc-list : file family style`. You can see
if the file paths are unique for the apparent duplicates you are seeing,
which is what I would expect to be the case.
