I've committed a patch which makes fc-list print unescaped fonts.

It seems to work for me without the patch... could you check again? In
particular,
<rejectfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="family">
<string>Hershey-Gothic-English</string></patelt>
</pattern>
</rejectfont>
on CVS HEAD (and indeed, 2.3.90, which is what was installed on a test
computer) causes Hershey-Gothic-English to not show up in fc-list.
