Created an attachment (id=320146) --> (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=320146) Confused gtk2 font selector
Description of problem: Going through various bug reports, mailing list posts and so on I came to the conclusion that applications are being currently fixed in order to support extended fonts attibutes, and that gtk2 font selector is the one that should work properly. Granted, it works for say DejaVu LGC condensed, but does not for Arial Narrow (the condensed glyphs are to be found in separate files, copied over from XP install into .fonts). fc-list outputs the following:

Gtk2 font selector gets confused and shows each of the 4 basic styles twice (see attachment), with no visible difference whatsoever. The only application I have found to be able to distinguish between the Narrow and normal styles is the KDE's system settings > installed fonts thingy (also see attachment)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fontconfig-2.5.0-2.fc9.x86_64
How reproducible: always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. install microsoft core fonts using an rpm package 2. copy over arian{n,ni,nb,nbi}.ttf from a windows installation 3. run fc-cache 4. attempt to select one of the narrow glyphs in the font selector
Actual results: Narrow glyphs are unavailable
Expected results: Able to select narrow glyphs
Additional info: Feel free to reassing this bug, I wasn't sure what to assign it to
