Comment 4 for bug 448603

ok, this meas that for some reason, fontconfig is *not* enabled by default for some reasons. There are a number of bugs because of this, but this really puzzles me. I've contributed a patch upstream that enables fontconfig by default, and backported it to the ubuntu package. For some reason, that patch doesn't work for you, and fontconfig is *not* enabled by default. I now really wonder why...
