At least fc-match doesn't treat this kind of format
correctly; "Monospace 8". But, I agree that
font_parse_fcname in font.c should be improved.

I think it should be done in xft-backend.
By the way, a spec for searching for a font, and a spec for
using the found font should be different. I think
antialiasing and hints are specs of the latter category.
Currently Emacs doesn't distinguish them. This should be
fixed somehow.
And, I don't know what dpi is for. That information should
be available via X server. Is it a way to pretend that you
are using a screen of the different DPI?
