Since I posted the note that Sans-Serif is the canonical name for the
fontconfig alias:

I forgot that point.  Fontconfig backslash-escapes dashes in font names
in the output of command such as fc-cat, fc-list, fc-match.  Using a
space, though, probably triggers the GTK fontname path.

So emacs should probably ignore that the canonical name is Sans-Serif
and go back to using Sans, in the hope that that alias will remain in
the shipped fontconfig configs.

Sorry for the time waste!
