the order is just one factor. what actually happens is that there is a 
compensation for buggy font names (as happens often in afm files) so in 
practice one entry might become three entries; taco noticed that one of 
the fallbacks create this way will then obscure a following one

in your case it might be order on disk (although the current mechanisms 
do some sorting) but on our machines more likely is that a bugged afm 
font obscures later otf's (with similar names)

anyhow, we'll cook up a patch
