[Fontconfig] different font sets for nearly identical code paths

[Akira TAGOH]

Hi,

p052023l.pfb and uplri8a.pfb should has same score on evaluating. which one
appears first depends on the initial order of fontsets. FcFontList() adds a
font to the list when a font in the given fontset matches the pattern.
FcFontSetSort() evaluates the score according to the pattern and the lang
and then re-order the fontsets.

So the result isn't that surprised.

HTH,
