           Summary: Inexact font match produces different results between

Description of problem:
With dejavu and bitstream fonts installed, but freefont not installed, "fc-match
freesans" (also "fc-match sans") produces a different results on i386 than on
x86_64.

At first I thought this caused doxygen/graphviz to generate different results on
each platform which caused the file conflicts in multiarch installs. Bug
#432683.  It could have been, but in this case "sans" from dejavu and bitstream
produce identical images.  Its more likely that one of the build platfoms has
freefont installed, which does produce different images.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fontconfig-2.5.0-2.fc9


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum list 'dejavu*' 'bitstream*' 'freefont*'
2. fc-match freesans
3.
  
Actual results:
