[Devel] Getting a font foundry out of FreeType2

[Keith Packard]

I'd like to add the font foundry name to the application-visible
characteristics of fonts from Xft (the X<->freetype interface library).

This is to permit the selection of fonts with the same family name from 
different foundries (like Courier and Garamond) -- family names which 
are in the public domain.

Can I do this through the existing general FreeType2 API?  Or do I need 
format-specific hacks that go around the back of the library?
