   6
   7                 PostScript fonts:
   8                         Helvetica
   9                         Times
  10                         Courier
  11                 URW fonts:
  12                         Nimbus Sans L
  13                         Nimbus Roman No9 L
  14                         Nimbus Mono L
  15
  16                 Microsoft fonts:
  17                         Arial
  18                         Times New Roman
  19                         Courier New
  20                 Liberation fonts:
  21                         Liberation Sans
  22                         Liberation Serif
  23                         Liberation Mono
  24                 StarOffice fonts:
  25                         Albany
  26                         Thorndale
  27                         Cumberland
  28                 AMT fonts:
  29                         Albany AMT
  30                         Thorndale AMT
  31                         Cumberland AMT
  32
  33              Of these, URW fonts are design compatible with PostScrict fonts,
  34              and the Liberation, StarOffice, and AMT ones are compatible with
  35              Microsoft fonts.
  36
  37              We want for each of them to fallback to any of these
  38              available, but in an order preferring similar designs
  39              first.  We do this in three steps:
  40
  41                 1) Alias each specific to it's generic family.
  42                    eg. Liberation Sans to Arial
  43
  44                 2) Weak alias each generic to the other generic of its family.
  45                    eg. Arial to Helvetica
  46
  47                 3) Alias each generic to its specifics.
  48                    eg. Arial to Liberation Sans, Albany, and Albany AMT
