[Fontconfig] [PATCH] don't artificially embolden fixed-width fonts

[Adam Williamson]

It changes the width. The key thing about a fixed-width font
is...it's fixed width. If someone's using one, they almost
certainly don't want an artificial bold face that uses wider
characters. This is a major pain when using a text editor that
uses bold face for syntax highlighting, and affects two widely-
used monospace fonts which have no native bold face, Droid
Sans Mono and Inconsolata.
