That's interesting.  I just hacked a simple test application which
calls ChooseFont.  The Liberation Mono font from F14 returns 0x31
in the LOGFONT lfPitchAndFamily member, so it's marked as fixed font.

The liberation-fonts-ttf-1.06.0.20100721.tar.gz file from
https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/ returns 0x32, so it's marked
as variable font.  This is certainly a packaging bug.

FYI, I reported this as a packaging bug upstream:
