Antialias attribute is just one of the attributes.  The problem is
much larger and more general than just that single attribute.

I don't know; it might be.

We will need to set it to nil where the font spec is passed to
font-selection functions, I guess.

But I'd be happier if you could step through the code and verified
that indeed the foundry mismatch is what causes us to reject DejaVu
Sans, and that after we reject it, we never try it with foundry set to
nil in the font-spec.  Perhaps we first set family to nil and only
after that set foundry to nil?

If this is indeed what happens, I'm okay with adding a variable that
could control whether we try to adhere to foundry in font selection,
and letting people try with it on and off.

Alternatively, why not document that including foundry in the font
spec is the solution to such problems?

Why is this weird?
