        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

(it would be nice if there was a fc-query component in fontconfig BTW)

Since MS' WWS naming model makes stuff simpler for application authors, and
will be required in new window code, it would be mighty nice if fc-query warned
in its general report if a font file didn't respect this model.

Respecting the WWS model is declaring fields 21 and 22 or 16 in 17 in ways that
respect WWS (only weight, width and slant in sytles)

This way we can point FLOSS authors to fc-query as linting tools and promote
font naming our apps can handle easily
