I found the origin of the problem.
It's in XftFontOpenName function I use to generate an XftFont structure
that contains an FcPattern.
FC_WEIGHT property of this FcPattern has type double instead of integer.
If I use:
FcPatternGet(font->pattern,FC_WEIGHT,0,&fcValue);
fcValue has type FcTypeDouble , and its value fcValue.u.d is 200,000 ,
that matches expected integer value for "bold" !
So it's not a fontconfig problem, it's an Xft one !
Thanks for reading

So I tried to replace "Liberation Sans:style=Bold Italic" by
"Liberation Sans:weight=bold:slant=italic" in my C program, but under
Debian 10 , I still get:
font family : Liberation Sans
font weight : 0
font slant : 100
Family and slant are OK, only weight is false.
Same program under Linux Ubuntu 18.04 gives :
font family : Liberation Sans
font weight : 200
font slant : 100
There was a version of Fontconfig that stopped recognizing “bold” as a
value for the “weight” property for a while. I run Debian Unstable, and
as I recall this did get fixed, but it looks like the previous version
was left in Stable for version 10.
As a workaround, try “weight=200” in your pattern.
