Both has the same score on that query:

So that returns the first one. plus, apparently you have an alias of Helvetica
for Helvetica-Narrow. this isn't a bug then.
For a workaround, you should drop Regular from style for Helvetica Narrow and
set a style to the query to match on the better one.
<match target="scan">
<test name="family"><string>Helvetica
Narrow</string></test>
<test name="style"><string>Regular</string></test>
<edit name="style" mode="delete"/>
</match>

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164177
--- Comment #3 from Matt Hirsch <matthew.hirsch(a)gmail.com> ---
Akira,
Thanks for your explanation. I'm certainly not an expert on fonts or
fontconfig, but it does seem like there might be a bug here. The font, as it
comes from Adobe has the following fields set under "TTF Names" (according to
fontforge):
Copyright: (copyright text)
Family: Helvetica Narrow
Styles (SubFamily): Regular
UniqueID: Helvetica Narrow:44711
Fullname: Helvetica-Narrow
Version: 003.001
Preferred Family: Helvetica
Preferred Styles: Narrow
I don't know if there is a standard for how these should be formally
interprited. As they are written they make sense to me: this font is the
"Regular" style for the narrow version of Helvetica. There are also bold, etc.
styles of Narrow. fc-match is taking the style (apparently) from both the
"Preferred Styles" field and the "Styles (SubFamily)" field and
treating them
the same way. For complex font families like Helvetica I can see why this
causes problems.
Further, I have no alias on my system mapping Helvetica-Narrow to Helvetica, as
you said. It would seem fc-match is getting that from the "Preferred Family"
field. I can edit the font with fontforge to resolve both of those problems,
but I don't think that's the right solution. We shouldn't ask everyone in
Fedora to manually edit (or create fontconfig rules for) very standard fonts
like Helvetica.
The bug I linked from launchpad would seem to indicate that Ubuntu is patching
fontconfig to solve this problem.
Again, thanks for your consideration. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts,
and perhaps re-open the bug?

(In reply to Matt Hirsch from comment #3)
The bug I linked from launchpad would seem to indicate that Ubuntu
is
patching fontconfig to solve this problem.
There was no patches related to this issue in Ubuntu's. so what I can suggest
to avoid this situation is, a) as I said the above comment, you could modify
the cache with the fontconfig rule at comment#2. you don't even need to modify
a font itself by the editor. b) add more pattern to narrow down the result.
Further, I have no alias on my system mapping Helvetica-Narrow to
Helvetica,
as you said. It would seem fc-match is getting that from the "Preferred
Family" field.
Yes, indeed fontconfig does. so the result against querying a font with that
pattern is correct as long as a font has "Helvetica" as the family name.
As a result, I'm afraid I'd say it isn't a bug then.

--- Comment #6 from Fedora End Of Life <endoflife(a)fedoraproject.org> ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version'
of '20'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.
Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
