FcPattern * FcFreeTypeQueryFace (const FT_Face face, const char *file,
int id, FcBlanks *blanks);
will scan an arbitrary file and let you use the other Fontconfig APIs to
look at the results.
Writing a short application that called this function and dumped out the
results in whatever format you needed should be fairly simple.
