I can confirm this on Fedora Core 5. I normally use the
Zurich BT family, which is completely collapsed and no
longer usable.

I'm not quite sure how I can address these bugs, seeing as how I don't have
access to any of these BT fonts...

Can you stick the mis-interpreted font files in a new directory and
provide the output of:

$ FC_DEBUG=384 fc-cache -f <path-to-new-directory>

That should help see where fontconfig is mis-interpreting the data in
the fonts.

At least for Zurich, the variants are correctly listed in the style field, and
Gnome applications appear to be able to select the variants correctly using the
font selection dialog.

This is the FC_DEBUG=384 fc-cache -f procedure for my Futura (and other) fonts
that still do not work.

I don't understand what you expect to see; fontconfig is correctly extracting
both listed family names (futura and, e.g., futura lt BT). Either name should
get matched.

In the attachments I created you can see that with the current version of
fontconfig font names oviously look wrong.

The attachment where the names look right was created with fontconfig
2.2.3

Fontconfig is correctly reporting the names present in the font file, and the
application is failing to select the one you want to see. You can either fix the
application or adjust the names presented by fontconfig by reconfiguring
fontconfig using the new <match target="scan"> element.

Recently, fontconfig seems to list the two different family names in
the Futura fonts in different order than before:

openSUSE 10.2 with original fontconfig as distributed with openSUSE
10.2:

mfabian@baker:~$ cat /etc/SuSE-release 
openSUSE 10.2 (i586)
VERSION = 10.2
mfabian@baker:~$ rpm -q fontconfig 
fontconfig-2.4.1-19
mfabian@baker:~$ fc-list Futura
Futura,Futura Hv BT:style=Heavy Italic
Futura,Futura BdCn BT:style=Bold
Futura:style=Condensed Medium
Futura,Futura Md BT:style=Bold Italic
Futura:style=Condensed ExtraBold
Futura,Futura Bk BT:style=Book Italic
Futura,Futura XBlkCnIt BT:style=Extra Black Italic
Futura:style=Medium Italic
Futura,Futura Lt BT:style=Light Italic
Futura,Futura LtCn BT:style=Light
Futura,Futura Md BT:style=Medium Italic
mfabian@baker:~$ 

openSUSE 10.2 with fontconfig updated from
http://software.opensuse.org/download/M17N/openSUSE_10.2/

mike@nozomi:~$ cat /etc/SuSE-release 
openSUSE 10.2 (X86-64)
VERSION = 10.2
mike@nozomi:~$ rpm -q fontconfig
fontconfig-2.4.2-15.1
mike@nozomi:~$ fc-list Futura
Futura Hv BT,Futura:style=Heavy Italic
Futura BdCn BT,Futura:style=Bold
Futura:style=Condensed Medium
Futura Md BT,Futura:style=Bold Italic
Futura:style=Condensed ExtraBold
Futura Bk BT,Futura:style=Book Italic
Futura XBlkCnIt BT,Futura:style=Extra Black Italic
Futura:style=Medium Italic
Futura Lt BT,Futura:style=Light Italic
Futura LtCn BT,Futura:style=Light
Futura Md BT,Futura:style=Medium Italic
mike@nozomi:~$ 

I.e. between fontconfig 2.4.1 and fontconfig 2.4.2, the order
of the listing of the two family names has changed. 

Matthias Bachert <bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxxx> reported that this solved
his problem, see also

It looks like the name reordering in 2.4.2 solved this problem; I'm
going to mark it as fixed.
