You are right. So I've made 2 sets of aliases for Sans Serif, one with
family name 'sans serif' (it's allowed alternate spelling to sans-serif)
and font names 'Sans Serif ...' and one with 'sans' family name (which
is deprecated alias, but Pango still uses it and I want to translate
Pango fonts to Gnome Font's without additional app processing).

We could remove the deprecated sets once it's not used in Pango any more
or when it gets removed from fontconfig.

I will add an updated patch to reply to Chema's reply.

Cheers
