           Summary: FcConfigAppFontAddFile equivalent that takes memory or
                    FT_Face

          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: freedesktop at behdad.org
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: library
           Product: fontconfig

One common request is to use Pango with a custom font.  The way I recommend
doing that is by creating a custom FcConfig and adding custom fonts to it and
using pango against that config.

However, currently only fonts on disk can be added to a config.  Lets fix that
to either get a memory buffer, or a FT_Face, similar to FcFreeTypeQueryFace. 
We probably need to add a FcFileScan() variant too.

Perhaps better to add Memory() version to avoid FreeType dependency in non
fcfreetype.h API.
