Sometimes FcFontMatch in xloadfont does not match the font the user expects. This happens because fontconfig attempts to find a matching font using heuristics. To deal with this I wrote a patch[1] that allows the user to explicitly state the prefered italic, bold and bold italic fonts.

My question is: is this considered a patch for wiki or mainline?
