Nicolas, the fonts returned by the default aliases are not carefully chosen. 
They are a set of carefully chosen (if you want to call it) list followed by
all other lists available, only pruned based on their coverage.  So, if you
have one Arabic font on the system that has a weird style, you get that style
listed, but no Latin font even has that style.

Owen said it all already.  My current feeling is:

  - If you want DejaVu Sans Condensed, just choose it!

  - Listing styles from the top matching font, ok maybe.
