It’s easy enough to test your Fontconfig setup with the fc-match
command. Give it the same font spec string you are using in your
program, and you can optionally ask for more details about the
match, e.g.
address@hidden:~> fc-match helvetica
n019003l.pfb: "Nimbus Sans L" "Regular"
address@hidden:~> fc-match helvetica file
:file=/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019003l.pfb
address@hidden:~> fc-match helvetica file family
Nimbus Sans L:file=/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019003l.pfb
