Of course! that's good idea! :)  Let me see...,
Which alias level are you thinking? 
- alias both e ttf font and x font? i.e) efont1 : "notepad/8,-*--8-*"
- or just for the x font in the e.
- (x font alias function also should works in imlib2 too)
- or other

Maybe, the first one is best...
Where it should be implemented into? imlib2 or evas, or other.. 
How to implement alias name? export alias file or just on API call.

I will continue to be thinking more which way is best but If you have 
more detail ideas or request, please let me know. it world be helpfull
for me because I still do not see or understand vision of e libs future
structure completely.
