[PATCH] Fix PostScript font alias name

Current Fontconfig uses `Helvetica Condensed' as PostScript generic font name
of `Nimbus Narrow' and `TeX Gyre Heros Cn'.
But, If I understand correctly, it is wrong.

In Ghostscript's Fontmap.GS
 
http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=blob;f=Resource/Init/Fontmap.GS;h=a9fa335a2193fcf299f0b24cd473f4527b6e950b;hb=HEAD
`Helvetica Narrow' is used.
There is not `Helvetica Condensed'.

In TeX Gyre Heros Readme
 
http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/tex-gyre/heros/readme-tex-gyre-heros.txt/view

  ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/base35/hvnbo___.afm
is mentioned.
There is not `Helvetica Condensed'.

In addition, Adobe ftp server
  ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/base35/
contains `Helvetica Narrow' instead of `Helvetica Condensed'.
