Ok, then, I guess the original font name is:
        -Cronyx-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-RAWIN-R
and the alias name is
        -Cronyx-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-ISO8859-5

Thus,
  (setq face-ignored-fonts '(".*RAWIN-R"))
can't reject the alias name but
  (setq face-ignored-fonts '(".*Cronyx.*"))
can.

The reason why M-x describe-fontset shows the original font
name is that Emacs calls XLoadQueryFont to get also the info
once a font is decided.  Then Emacs extracts "FONT" property
(if any) from the info and remember it as the correct font
name.

No, as far as I know.
