    Hello,

    I have defined the Bitstream Vera Serif as my preferred serif
    font in my ~/.fonts.conf:

     <alias>
      <family>serif</family>
        <prefer>
         <family>Bitstream Vera Serif</family>
         <family>URW Palladio L</family>
         <family>FreeSerif</family>
        </prefer>
     </alias>

    However, that particular font just seems to be ignored. When I
    select the font "serif" I get the URW Palladio L. Aside from that
    this font works well, so I guess it's fontconfig related.

    Does anybody ken how to fix this... thing?
