I think there are similar issue about encoding on some BDF fonts which
fontconfig can't deal with. so just wonder if fontconfig provides any way to
embed the encoding information into the configuration as the meta data?

As you have implemented the bitmap scaling, such fonts is still somewhat
usable?
