Right, but users tend to specify weight and slant with xlfd descriptors,
and probably wouldn't be surprised to have an omitted slant or weight
interpreted as a wildcard, while fcname seems to encourage their
omission for normal fonts: ie users expect "Courier-12" to be equivalent
to "Courier-12:weight=normal:slant=normal", not
"Courier-12:weight=*:slant=*".
