Greetings, First, I must apologize if this is a double post. When I first sent this email I had not yet subscribed to the list, and I don't think it arrived. I am working on GNUstep's (http://www.gnustep.org/) font support. One of GNUstep's goals is to implement the OpenStep specification (http://www.gnustep.org/resources/OpenStepSpec.pdf.gz). Fontconfig is already being used by GNUstep, however, in order to properly implement the OpenStep standard the Postscript name should be used to uniquely reference a font. Right now GNUstep is using the full font name, however, it would be better if the Postscript name was cached so that it could be used instead. So my final question is: what are the pros and cons to adding the Postscript name to the properties which Fontconfig caches? I've included a patch (below) which adds the functionality.
