--- Comment #4 from Elad Alfassa <el.il at doom.co.il> ---
quoting from upstream bug,
>According to fontconfig docs it doesn't look as though the filename should be required here, if we don't care about it being available as a pattern element. Indeed, with a downloaded font, there *is* no filename - the font data associated with the FT_Face exists only in RAM, it is not stored in a file.
>
>So this looks to me like a breaking change in the semantics of the fontconfig API. :(

Akira, can you please comment about this upstream? What should be the required
course of action when the font is not stored in a file?
