That makes me think that you have multiple libfontconfig installed --

I did a locate and there is only one libfontconfig on my system.
locate doesn't tell you what is currently on your system -- unless you
rebuild the locate database immediately before running locate.
I did a rebuild of the db.
strings /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so | egrep "/.*(conf|font)"
Or wherever your libfontconfig is at.
That worked for me on two systems to show where my configuration
directory was at.
It returns
/fonts.cache-1
~/.fonts.cache-1
/etc/fonts
/usr/share/fonts
there is a config file in /etc/fonts, but not in /usr/share/fonts,
that directory doesn't exist.
what to do now?
Use strace -f to follow all children. (Be sure to capture stderr.) And
then search through the tens of thousands of lines for what triggered
the error.
When I do that I get a fatal error that X cannot copy its old log file
to .old... I don't know why, but it really is the -f switch that causes
the error.
