I have fixed this problem. Let me know if that clears up the problem
for you. Tomorrow (after I get back from sailing), I intend to write up
some quick docs of the cache format and see if I can whip together an
fc-dump binary; then I'll package the development snapshot 2.3.90.
keithp: I've added the FC_RENDER member back to the FcBaseObjectTypes
array; it was previously commented out. We do put FC_RENDERs into
FcPatterns, although I guess that we don't write them out to disk. So
fontconfig was trying to write an FC_RENDER element into an FcPattern,
failing, and bailing. Does this look like the correct solution to you?

* fontconfig/fontconfig.h:
* src/fcname.c:
Add a global binding for the 'render' pattern element used by
Xft; the lack of said binding prevented programs from using
FcPatterns in Xft.
