This happens with a lot of fonts. I think the issue is that you're using
FT_Face->family_name by default rather than as a last resort. At least
that was my mistake. ;-)

I'm not sure what you're trying to do or what your requirements are but
wouldn't it be better to get the info you need directly from FontConfig?
or at least as much of it as possible.

For example, using FcConfigAppFontAddFile() and FcFreeTypeQueryFace()
