Strange fc-match issues with Essential PragmataPro

Just today I purchased the font Essential Pragmata Pro from www.fsd.it/fonts/pragmatapro.htm. Because it's a commercial font, there's no PKGBUILD for it, so I just moved it to /usr/share/fonts/TTF. After that, I ran mkfontdir and mkfontscale on that directory. Finally, I edited /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin-combi.conf (as I have Infinality installed).

I edited the monospace portion so that

<family>Essential PragmataPro</family>

was above

<family>DejaVu Sans Mono</family>

Then I ran fc-cache. However, there seems to have been a problem. Firefox refused to use PragmataPro as its default monospace font. At first, I thought it could have been a Firefox issue, however,

fc-match monospace
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"

My question, therefore, is: why isn't fontconfig accepting PragmataPro as its default monospace font?

Thanks a lot!
