If you add any patterns about the glyph coverage, you're right and
fontconfig will behaves like that. otherwise there should be no different
in score between both fonts as your example did.

score. Also, how come that p052023l.pfb is always sorted before

 Assuming you're talking about the case of fontset2, the result is
different because both of the pattern for the first FcFontSort() and the
second FcFontSetSort() is different.
the result of FcFontSort() is sorted out by the condition of "outline=true"
and the result of FcFontSetSort() is sorted out by the condition of
"family=URW Palladio L" on the result of the above. if you want to see more
details how fontconfig figures out the result on the sort, run your
application with FC_DEBUG=3 or compare the result of fc-match -a
:outline=true and fc-match -a "URW Palladio L".
