I have noticed that some fonts I used to use became inaccessible on Mac OS in v7.0, which is when we upgraded Pango. In my case, the relevant change seems to be that Pango became better at tracking which Mac OS faces are condensed, and it insists on condensed or not matching exactly when you request a face. I've made face selection more flexible by allowing match of a condensed face for a non-condensed request and vice versa, although an exact match is preferred.
While investigating, I noticed that `(get-face-list #:all-variants? #t)` didn't work as intended, because it used the wrong part of the Pango API and produced names that cannot be parsed by Pango. I pushed a repair for that problem, so hopefully `(get-face-list #:all-variants? #t)` will now produce strings that let you get more faces.
