Title:
  Arial Narrow: not recognised

Status in Fontconfig:
  Unknown
Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in fontconfig package in Fedora:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: fontconfig

  I installed Arial Narrow by copying the TTF files from my windows font
  directory.

  after running fc-cache -f, font dialogs show duplicate entries for
  each style, but no narrow styles, see screenshot. Both duplicates
  select the same variant.

  gnome-font-viewer shows the fonts correctly, and display as style
  "Narrow", for all 4 variants. For the regular arial fonts, the styles
  are "Regular", "Bold", "Italic" and "Bold Italic"

  Steps to reproduce:
   - copy the fonts from the windows install:
      $ cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/other/
      $ sudo cp /windows/C/WINDOWS/Fonts/ARIALN*

   - set correct permissions
      $ sudo chmod 644 ARIALN*

  - update font cache
      $ fc-cache -fv

  expected result:
  font dialogs show regular and narrow variants for Arial, or a separate font Arial Narrow

  obtained result
  font dialogs show duplicate entries for each style.
