If we use an older version of fontconfig, Drawoc has a patch all ready for this: build/windows/jhbuild/patches/fontconfig-fix-config-dir.patch Other than that, we can just use fontconfig 2.11.0 (current stable), or over when there will be. Fontconfig has the fix since 2.11.0. Could we make sure the same process is applied for the Windows nightbuilds (which use the patches in build/windows/) and the releases (which apparently do not)? That makes it less useful to have nightbuilds if we don't even provide the same in a release! And can something be done for GIMP 2.8.8? Since it has just been out, and that's not a change in GIMP itself, can we update the Windows packages? Or once it is out, we say it is too late? Thanks!
