    Add FcMatchScan to resolve Delicious font matching issues (bug #6769) · c2c6976d
    Keith Packard authored
    The Delicious family includes one named Delicious Heavy, a bold variant
    which is unfortunately marked as having normal weight. Because the family
    name is 'Delicious', fontconfig accidentally selects this font instead of
    the normal weight variant. The fix here rewrites the scanned data by running
    the scanned pattern through a new substitution sequence tagged with
    <match target=scan>; a sample for the Delicious family is included to
    demonstrate how it works (and fix Delicious at the same time).
    
    Also added was a new match predicate -- the 'decorative' predicate which is
    automatically detected in fonts by searching style names for key decorative
    phrases like SmallCaps, Shadow, Embosed and Antiqua. Suggestions for
    additional decorative key words are welcome. This should have little effect
    on font matching except when two fonts share the same characteristics except
    for this value.
