As you can see from the checkin comment, I tried doing this in 
font_score, but it didn't have any effect, so I ended up making the 
change right at the beginning of the font selection process in 
font_parse_fcname. I left the change in font_score even though it didn't 
work, because it seemed right to prefer normal fonts there if weight and 
slant were unspecified (and presumably adstyle).
