[XeTeX] problems with some fonts

Hi,
I am experiencing some problems with certain fonts.
First, with a font called Beteckna. Bold face and
italics don't work (are replaced with medium weight
and upright shape). There are no error messages.
According to fontconfig bold and italics should be
available:

$ fc-list |grep -i beteckna
BetecknaLowerCase:style=Bold
BetecknaLowerCase:style=ItalicCondensed
BetecknaLowerCase:style=Medium
BetecknaLowerCase:style=BoldCondensed
BetecknaLowerCase:style=Italic

With the Fontin font, italics work well. However
text in upright shape (in any weight) is typeset in
small caps.

fc-list |grep -i fontin|grep -v Sans
Fontin:style=Bold
Fontin:style=Italic
Fontin:style=Regular
Fontin SmallCaps,Fontin:style=Regular,SmallCaps

I think this has to do with the fact that this
font comes with a separate file for small caps,
but I'm not sure how to fix it.

Regards.

Ernest
