right. so FcNoticeFoundry assigns "Adobe" instead of the above copyright notice
in that case. let me show you some examples we fail on picking up foundries
without FcNoticeFoundry. there are two code paths acquire the information
through FcNoticeFoundry. one is from TT_NAME_ID_{TRADEMARK,MANUFACTURE} and one
is FT_Get_PS_Font_Info.
the former one fails on google-crosextra-caladea and lyx say. later one is
Type1 fonts and some PCF fonts. apparently we need to keep maintaining
FcNoticeFoundry at least for them.
