Comment 4 for bug 429709

I have encountered what I believe is a similar problem.

This happened to me with inkscape-0.47pre3-2.leopard+.dmg; OSX 10.6.1.

It appears that Inkscape thought that "helvetica CY' was closer to 'HelveticaNeueCE - Roman' than just plain helvetica.

As CY stands for 'cyrillic', this made my english text quite hard to read!

It would seem like there needs to be some sort of logic indicating when do select a variant from the same family and when a different family (but in the same language) would be 'closer' - or, god forbid, just ask the user what they'd like to substitute.
