This is because of the limitation of FcNameParse() since it uses "-"
as a separator to guess the parameters. see what happened with it:
$ FC_DEBUG=4 fc-match Emmentaler-20
...
FcConfigSubstitute Pattern has 2 elts (size 16)
family: "Emmentaler"(s)
size: 20(f)(s)
...
Although this issue usually won't happens on the applications who uses
fontconfig, because they do as the following:
#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>
int
main(void)
{
FcPattern *pat, *match;
FcResult result;
FcInit();
pat = FcPatternCreate();
FcPatternAddString(pat, FC_FAMILY, "Emmentaler-20");
FcConfigSubstitute(NULL, pat, FcMatchPattern);
FcDefaultSubstitute(pat);
match = FcFontMatch(NULL, pat, &result);
FcPatternPrint(match);
if (match)
FcPatternDestroy(match);
FcPatternDestroy(pat);
FcFini();
return 0;
}
$ ./a.out
Pattern has 29 elts (size 32)
family: "Emmentaler-20"(s)
familylang: "en"(s)
style: "20"(s)
stylelang: "en"(s)
fullname: "Emmentaler-20"(s)
fullnamelang: "en"(s)
...
Additionally, there is

because the default format for fc-list uses FcNameUnparse(). if you
don't like it, you can specify the output format with -f for your
preference:
$ fc-list -f '%{?file{%{file}: }}%{-file{%{family}:style=%{style}}}\n'
...
/usr/share/fonts/lilypond/emmentaler-20.otf: Emmentaler-20:style=20
...
