As mentioned, you don't have to say "but" because using
face-font-family-alternatives gets us *exactly* the above.
So, could someone change the fixed-pitch and variable-pitch faces and
face-font-family-alternatives accordingly to use (as first choice) the
most generic corresponding fontconfig name.
BTW, I'm not sure what are the official generic fontconfig names: my
/etc/fonts config files seems to say that "sans" and "mono" are
deprecated and should be replaced by "sans-serif" and "monospace".
Stefan
PS: Curiously, it seems that the serif/sans distinction is not taken
very seriously for monospace fonts, since I don't see any "mono-sans" or
"mono-serif" in fontconfig, and indeed our own face-font-family-alternatives
puts together "courier" and "fixed".
