The freely accessible arial you find on the web is an old version that
does not declare the same stuff as modern versions. Microsoft does not
update it anymore.

Having a way to tell fontconfig "this is an old font with missing
modern metadata, here is the info which is missing" so it's treated
the same way as modern fonts is the object of the freedesktop bug
you've already commented on.
