It's definitely a fontconfig bug.

Both Helvetica and Helvetica Narrow claim to be "Helvetica" font family,
but Narrow lists "Narrow" as style.

With Nimbus L Condensed and Arial Narrow - different font family names
are used.

So fontconfig does not know how to deal with Adobe putting the "Narrow"
in the style rather than the family name. I'll go bug them about it.
