[ft] How to use FreeType with FontConfig?

[John Found]

Recently I am working on text rendering with FreeType.

The FreeType function FT_New_Face uses the filename of the font, but I want 
more flexible approach with font substitution and suggesting fonts by some 
pattern, for example "serif", "monospaced", "bold", etc.

I know that such functionality is provided by Fontconfig library. 

But how I can interface Fontconfig with FreeType? 

I tried to read the Fontconfig documentation, but didn't find a solution. The 
FreeType documentation also does not mention Fontconfig.
