I must admit that I am ignorant in these font descriptions.
I have no idea what LangName numbers correspond to what
languages.

All I know is that, all of a sudden, the following code
behaves differently than it was a day ago:
   $ python
   >>> import gnomeprint
   >>> for font in gnomeprint.font_list():
   ...     if font.find('FreeMono') != -1:
   ...         print font
   ...
   FreeMono Cursiva
   FreeMono Cursiva
   FreeMono Negreta
   FreeMono Negreta
   FreeMono Negreta cursiva
   FreeMono Negreta cursiva
   FreeMono Normal
   FreeMono Normal

Now that I look at gnomeprint.font_list(), I can see that other fonts
are also returning Negreta and Cursiva, not just ttf-freefont fonts.
So I guess something changed in gnomeprint or its python bindings.

If you have any clues, please feel free to direct me. Otherwise
I will re-assign this bug to gnomeprint's python bindins.

Thanks and sorry for the false alarm,
Alex
