I believe this to be a bad idea -- the family names of Type 1 and BDF
versions of Adobe Courier will then differ.
I believe that this is a fontconfig/Gnome bug, not something that
should be fixed at the FreeType level.
MF> TrueType fonts don't have something like "FOUNDRY",
Yes, they do, in the OS/2 table. Keith is planning to modify
Fontconfig to properly export this value.

I don't know. My gut instinct is that AVERAGE_WIDTH should not be
used for anything at all, and also that one shouldn't munge font names
lightly. I suggest you add a new fontconfig property for wide fonts
instead -- this would be a purely fontconfig-level change.
