Sorry for the late response on this matter.

Yes, doing the same worked for me. At least with regards to 'fc-list'.
The latest emacs-unicode-2 (at least as of yesterday morning) was
still not seeing the width attribute even though 'fc-list' now does.
However, thinking about it now, it is quite likely that I have multiple
versions of 'fc-list' installed on my computer, so maybe I should query
them all to see if somehow the fontconfig library emacs is being linked
against isn't still confused.
Please check which libfontconfig is used by emacs and
fc-list. Does this work on Mac OS?
