Thanks a lot! I've committed a fix to this problem now, and
gnome-font-properties works for me. I suppose I should have guessed
that people might actually use FcNameRegisterObjectTypes.
Now that gnome-terminal and gnome-font-properties work, I think it
should be safe to make a development release, hopefully tonight, after
looking at Behdad's patch.
