Does it work? face-ignored-fonts doesn't seem to be used anywhere,
other than in startup.el to decide whether to clear the face cache.

  C:\...\trunk> grep -rE face[-_]ignored[-_]fonts src\*.c src\*.h lisp\*.el
  src\xfaces.c:   4. Setting face-ignored-fonts allows the user to
ignore specific
  src\xfaces.c:Lisp_Object Vface_ignored_fonts;
  src\xfaces.c:  DEFVAR_LISP ("face-ignored-fonts", &Vface_ignored_fonts,
  src\xfaces.c:  Vface_ignored_fonts = Qnil;
  lisp\startup.el:        (old-face-ignored-fonts face-ignored-fonts))
  lisp\startup.el:                 (eq face-ignored-fonts
old-face-ignored-fonts))

Also, I do

  emacs -Q --eval "(add-to-list 'face-ignored-fonts \"FreeMono\")"

and then C-u C-x = over a Braille char in etc/HELLO:

        character: ⠕ (10261, #o24025, #x2815)

There are text properties here:
