I think there are some issues with synchronization when fontconfig is<br>
completely removed.<br>

So every time I download an updated version of Cairo, I hack out the fontconfig stuff. It takes about 10 minutes of time to go through and comment out every function that uses fontconfig. It's as simple as that, just comment it out and everything works flawlessly. I don't see why it hasn't been moved to a separate file by now, with it's own cairo feature #define.<br>
