Although I'd rather see some sort of a search order. You could make this a configurable option. --enable-relative-path[=PATH] defaults to ./fonts/ e.g. /path/to/binary If fontconfig was configured with above option, you would look for the fonts.conf file in /path/to/binary/fonts If nothing is found there, you can still look for the file in --sysconfdir and/or /etc/fonts. I'm not really sure why fontconfig has to look for the file in only one place anyway...
