All of the usage of freetype functions in fontconfig is completed in a function and no exports. at that limited situation, the possibility of failing finalizer is quite unlikely. even if it does, it might be already failed on others or most of tasks to return a result is already done. checking a return value of those functions doesn't make sense IMHO. That said this is the case-by-case. it wouldn't be a reason to ignore for others.
