Maybe another solution is requiring other fonts, IIRC Werner proposed TexGyre Schola a while ago. It looks like a good idea to append foundry=urw in fc-match call in configure, but this fix will break when the foundry field of TTFs shipped with Canorus changes from "unknown" to "urw" -- or maybe this won't happen because TTF files will never provide "urw" as foundry? I rely on advice from a fonts guru here.
