            Bug ID: 90428
           Summary: Config format (and api?) to define virtual families
           Product: fontconfig
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: library
          Assignee: fontconfig-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: freedesktop at behdad.org
        QA Contact: freedesktop at behdad.org

Right now we recognize sans-serif, serif, monospace, fantasy, and cursive but
user has to know that.  Would be nice to allow defining those formally, and let
user define more.

That would be useful for a font-manager kind of scenario, where one can define
new virtual families and add multiple fonts as a stack to it.

The latter can be done using existing configuration facilities (mostly), so the
part missing is just making it appear in FcFontList() output.

No idea what the config / API for this should look like.
