[Fontconfig] How to get rid of bitmapped fonts?

[Ing. Jozef Sakalos]

Hi Keith,

I found the problem. It's not the fontconfig problem, it's QT 
problem. QT logic is to check first system fonts and THEN ask 
fontconfig to get the font.

If an application asks for Helvetica QT returns bitmapped font 
before asking fontconfig.

I don't like it at all... Maybe I'll send you a QT patch.

Best regards,
