I don't know the details, but as a general matter you do not want to
use fontconfig to find font families, because it doesn't know how to
do so. When it finds font families, it is a common but lucky
accident. This is why I dirty-hack my own fontconfig, because programs
like GIMP and Inkscape use fontconfig to find font families, which
fontconfig doesn't know how to do. Perhaps it should, but I don't have
the energy to pursue the matter. (Perhaps OFLB will.)
