Bug 28491

the proposed fix:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~tagoh/fontconfig/commit/?h=bz28491

would be nice to match in regexp maybe.

done for regexp

this may be redundancy but may be good to check the filename strictly and give different score for them?

The idea looks like:
static double
FcCompareFilename (FcValue *v1, FcValue *v2)
{
	const FcChar8 *s1 = FcValueString (v1), *s2 = FcValueString (v2);
	if (FcStrCmp (s1, s2) == 0)
	    return 0.0;
	else if (FcStrCmpIgnoreCase (s1, s2) == 0)
	    return 1.0;
	else if (FcStrRegexCmp (s2, s1))
	    return 2.0;
	else if (FcStrRegexCmpIgnoreCase (s2, s1))
	    return 3.0;
	else
	    return 4.0;
}

Humm.  Thinking back, to be honest I'm not quite as sure about the usefulness of this.  But probably not harmful to add.  Would help adding API to Pango to request a specific font.  More interesting perhaps would be if FC_FACE is set, and just return that before anything else.

Yes, specifying FC_FILE would be reliable to request a specific font. and though I had a comment on Bug#25670, this would ensure the consistent result of FcFontMatch() too because the filename is unique.
