Re: fontconfig crash for special bdf font

[Cc'ing freetype-devel and Werner]

That prop.u.atom is the result of calling FT_BDF_Get_Property though,
we are expecting to see the proper atom when prop.type is set to
BDF_PROPERTY_TYPE_ATOM. in this case IMHO prop.type should be set to
BDF_PROPERTY_TYPE_NONE and returns an error.

Werner, any comments for that?
