Fontconfig - May 2006 - Matching fonts using xlfd where foundry name is unknown (unset?)

Dear Fontconfig list,

I''m having problems using the same xlfd to match a font between X and
FontConfig (v2.2.3),
for a font in which the foundry name is unknown (not set?).

If I call ''xlsfonts'' to list all fonts, the foundry name for
fonts with an unknown foundry
is reported as ''misc'' in the xlfd.  When this lfd is passed to
X it returns the correct
font (as expected).  Passing the same xlfd to FontConfig results in a match
against a
different font.  The matched font has a foundry name explicitly set to
''Misc'' (for example
font ''console8x16'').

I can reproduce this behavior if I run (JumBold is the family name of my sample
font which
has an unrecognized font name):

xlsfonts -display :0.0 -fn -*-*-*-*-*--0-0-75-75-*-0-iso10646-1 | grep -i
jumbold

which returns:
-misc-jumbold-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-p-0-iso10646-1

If I then search for this font using:

fc-list ":foundry=misc" : foundry family

Nothing is returned.  However, setting to ''foundry=unknown''
will successfully return the
font.

In a nutshell, X reports the foundry as ''misc'' for fonts in
which the foundry is
unknown, but FontConfig requires ''unknown'' in the lfd to
identify these same fonts.  As FC
treats a foundry match as a higher priority than the family match, this results
in an
incorrect match is foundry ''misc'' is given.

Is the X / FontConfig behavior expected and correct?

I''m running FontConfig 2.2.3. on FedoraCore4.

Thanks,
