Yes, and right now, by default, fontconfig prefers the Nimbus/Luxi fonts
over the Bitstream fonts. I have manually modified /etc/fonts/local.conf
to fix this problem, but it would be nice to have /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
have that as the default. At the moment, the Bitstream fonts are listed
as the second or third preferred font for serif, sans-serf and
monospace.
