Hi,

Thanks for your bug report.

Sorry about the typo in the hints. I thought I had verified the correct 
registration in Defoma... :(

I get the same behaviour with xterm and xvrt on unstable.
Probably the same with other apps not supporting fontconfig naming.

I'll investigate that with upstream.

Cheers,
