Shortly after I wrote my last mail I also thought about symbol
fonts and thought that they would probably be skipped as well with
my patch. But strangely enough they are still listed by fc-list
and can still be used:

mfabian at magellan:~$ fc-list : family foundry style  | grep -i symbol
OpenSymbol:style=Regular:foundry=unknown
Standard Symbols L:style=Regular:foundry=urw
Symbol:style=Regular:foundry=adobe
SeanSymbols:style=Regular:foundry=unknown
mfabian at magellan:~$

I don't understand why though.

Probably it is safer to skip only for PCF fonts like the old code
did but do it without using freetype internals.
