Description:
Version 1.0.3-3 of xorg-fonts-misc fixed  bug 44250 , but seems like new bug appeared. I have installed ttf-droid package. In Xorg applications (Firefox, e.g.) bold and italic droid fonts go to fallback, as shown on attached screenshot of page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts opened in Firefox and named bad-fonts-1.0.3-3.png. Note, that usual font looks correctly. Also, to compare, right appearence of page with xorg-fonts-misc version 1.0.3-2 show on screen good-fonts-1.0.3-2.png.

Additional info:
* package version(s):
xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.3-3
ttf-droid 20121017-4
* config and/or log files etc.
I don't know, which configs or logs can help to resolve bug, please, suggest if needed. Maybe, it's important to know information about videocard:
$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install ttf-droid 20121017-4 and xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.3-3 packages.
2. Open some application, which shows text in italic and bold fonts: for example, web page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts in Firefox. Italic and bold fonts are bad-readable here.

Possible workarounds:
1. Downgrade to xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.3-2 and set pacman to ignore this package.
2. Install another TTF package: I tried ttf-dejavu, ttf-oxygen, ttf-bitstream-vera -- all they seem to work correctly.

This works well with my setup so it could be a bug in ttf-droid pkg (file placement seems to look ok to me) or with your font configuration setup.

Configs in my /etc/fonts/conf.d are attached. I've never changed them manually.

Is this problem still present with xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.3-6? If not, it may be time to close it.
