--- Comment #1 from Mike FABIAN <mfabian(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
Tagoh San told me that one has to set the :lang=.. parameter.

This does indeed work:

[mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 fc-match 
sans:lang=de-DE
FreeSans.ttf: "FreeSans" "Mittel"
[mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 fc-match 
sans:lang=de
FreeSans.ttf: "FreeSans" "Mittel"
[mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ 

Running a test program like pango-view in de_DE.UTF-8 locale seems to work
as well:


[mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ cat test-file.txt 
Hello
[mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 pango-view
--font="Sans Serif" test-file.txt &
[6] 15307
[mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ grep fonts /proc/15307/maps 
7f8ca9b47000-7f8ca9cd4000 r--p 00000000 fd:00 1201299                   
/usr/share/fonts/gnu-free/FreeSans.ttf
[mfabian@Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_6 ~]$ 


So it looks like I am just confused and that the locale does
not influence fc-match is not really a bug.
