This is a very old patch from openSuSE (from 2006, submitted to
FreeType in 2011) that I forgot to apply.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/freetype2/freetype2-bitmap-foundry.patch
Prepend the foundry name plus a space to the family name. There are
many fonts just called `Fixed' which look completely different, and
which have nothing to do with each other. When selecting `Fixed' in
KDE or Gnome one gets results that appear rather random, the style
changes often if one changes the size and one cannot select some
fonts at all.
We also check whether we have `wide' characters; all put together,
we get family names like `Sony Fixed' or `Misc Fixed Wide'.
* src/pcf/pcfread.c (pcf_load_font): Implement it.
* docs/CHANGES: Document it.
