\font_variant and \raw_variant give the `variant' in two forms: one
which ends up in the final font names, and one for searching for AFM
files. For example the `x' variant ends up in the font names generated
(eg ptmrx8t) but not in the font names searched for (eg ptmr8r and
ptmr8x). But for weirdo variants like `Sans Serif' the variant ends up
in both (eg ptmrs8t and ptmrs8r if such a thing existed).
