bug#316: XFLD fonts broken on w32 since around font-backend merge


From: Jason Rumney
Subject: bug#316: XFLD fonts broken on w32 since around font-backend merge

User-agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 (Windows/20080421)

Since sometime around the font backend merge, fonts specified as XFLD no longer work on Windows.

 emacs -Q -fn "-*-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1"
results in Emacs not starting, and the following message on stderr:
Font `-*-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1' is not defined.

Emacs now seems to only recognize that font if the slant is specified as "normal" rather than "r", and the spacing as "m" (previous versions of Emacs on Windows only used "c" and "p" here, but up until the merge of font-backend code, Emacs seemed to be happy using a font with FONT_SPACING_MONO when "c" was specified).
