just reminds me that there should be some options to do this but
wasn't too much if we keep compatibility in API and conditions not to
modify application-side. given that we revert this change and are
going to keep API compatibility and no changes in applications, what
we can do is probably to let fontconfig know the directory mapping
tables through a file and read it. though they need to re-generate it
every time if the mappings is changed every time.
