"Nimbus Roman No9 L" became just "Nimbus Roman"

I have a set of .ods spreadsheets using the Nimbus Roman No9 L font that's supposed to come with the gsfonts package. On a current Arch install, fc-match will not match that full name to the desired font:

yid@cdlin-hict8013:~$ fc-match 'Nimbus Roman No9 L'
DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book"
yid@cdlin-hict8013:~$ fc-match 'Nimbus Roman'
n021003l.pfb: "Nimbus Roman" "Regular"

This is despite the full string is in the config under /etc/fonts/conf.d/:

yid@cdlin-hict8013:/etc/fonts/conf.d$ fgrep -r '>Nimbus Roman' *
30-metric-aliases.conf:   <family>Nimbus Roman No9 L</family>
30-metric-aliases.conf:   <family>Nimbus Roman No9 L</family>
45-latin.conf:          <family>Nimbus Roman No9 L</family>
60-latin.conf:                  <family>Nimbus Roman No9 L</family>

This causes text in the .ods files originally formatted using the font to not be rendered properly in LibreOffice.

Any suggestions on how I could make fontconfig match the full 'Nimbus Roman No9 L'? Or how I could batch-update the font name in the .ods files?

I appreciate it.
