If the driver needs a separate driver record object for whatever
reason, this function is used to initialize the necessary fields in
this object.  The BDF driver doesn't have that (it uses
`FT_DriverRec'), contrary to the PCF driver.  The `PCF_DriverRec'
structure needs field `no_long_family_names' initialized, and this is
what `pcf_driver_init' does.
