I guess we can worry about this problem after making the fontconfig
backend recognize the necessary mappings, which it currently does not.
(For example, (list-fonts (font-spec :family "courier")) returns only
x-backend fonts.) Do you know how to do that?
If performing the mappings is non-trivial (e.g., if we have to manually
parse a file in /etc), maybe it's simpler to abolish the
`variable-pitch' and `fixed-pitch' faces. I don't think they serve much
of a purpose anyway.
