Here is the output:
fc-match Arial:
arial.ttf: "Arial" "Normal"
fc-match Arial,Bold:
arial.ttf: "Arial" "Normal"
fc-match Miriam:
Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman"
fc-match David:
Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman"
fc-match David,Bold:
Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman"
fc-match MiriamFixed,Bold:
Vera.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans" "Roman"

So as we see it don't find David, Miriam...

Kfir
