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:
[jsikorski@snowball ~]$ fc-list | grep Arial

[jsikorski@snowball ~]$
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

This might be related to the mentioned freedesktop bug, but since there was no
response in 4 months, I thought that filing it here as well might be a good
idea.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora
'version' of '9'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this
bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version,
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
The process we are following is described here:

Confused gtk font selector in LANG=C locale
Still present in Fedora 11.
I think the problem might be related to localised names of the narrow font.
With LANG=C shown above, the errors are different. Font selection will yield
the following (from the top): 4 times narrow, normal, italic, bold and bold
italic. Narrow italic, narrow bold and narrow bold italic are still MIA. It's a
little improvement over pl_PL locale, but far from a working solution
nontheless.
