FcFontSort doesn't really "filter" (well it /can/ in some way but only 
by Unicode coverage, depending on the "trim" argument) but instead 
orders by score. For this, only properties in src/fcobjs.h are taken 
into account.

FcFontList does filter but it's mainly useful for properties that occur 
in the cache.

Maybe FcFreeTypeQueryFace could help you?
