extensions = ttf,pfa,pfb,dfont
pathes = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/ (...etc)
names = Times-Roman, Times_New_Roman, Times-New-Roman, TimesNewRoman, Times, times

In 1.16, the FontConfig implementation appears to screw up the last loop and repeatedly checks the first filename (Times-Roman).

The output given is: Error: Could not find/open font : Times-Roman

However, if I use fc-list manually:
curie-int / $ fc-list -V
fontconfig version 2.2.2
curie-int / $ fc-list 'Times-Roman'
Times:style=Bold Italic
Times:style=Bold
Times:style=Italic
Times:style=Regular

Possibly this is an error in how FC is being used?

The only work-around that works is for me to pass fontname=times for each of -N,-E
Input:

digraph G {
"Node1" [ URL="http://link1",label="This is a label",shape="box" ];
"Node2" [ URL="http://link2",fontsize="14" ];
"Node3" [ URL="http://link3",fontsize="20" ];
"Node1" -> "Node2" [ label="Edge Label",color="red" ];
}

Also the output from: echo 'digraph G {hello->world}' | dot -v

[Michail Vidiassov <master@iaas.msu.ru>]: There is code in gd/gdft.c that hardcodes translation from Postcript names of core fonts to fontconfig names of URW fonts (!). (That is where the error message "Didn't find expected font family. Perhaps URW Type 1 fonts need installing?" comes from.)

Thus other fonts capable to act as core Postscript fonts may be ignored (depends on Fontconfig config).

Good news is that the hack is compiled in conditionally, thus easy to disable.
