Sure. well, given that we go forward with it, I think there are
nothing we can do in fontconfig on this issue, because it's the result
that the application tried to pick a font up with the unreliable way.

So if there are any rendering libraries and applications that behaves
so, I suppose we can help to fix it in apps and may be a good idea to
do it earlier. dunno how many apps behaves wrongly.

So any volunteers to test it on various apps are welcome.
