Fortunately, fontconfig provides enough information to sort these
sensibly; it breaks out weight/slant information into separate fields
and also provides (as of today) a way to detect "decorative" faces
(shadowed, outlined, etc). What has been fixed is the insistance that
fonts only have two kind of variation (bold/regular, italic/roman), what
remains to be done is to present the available information sensibly. Ask
me for the information you need, but don't ask me how to present it to
the user...
