A removal of fontconfig.* files will require a very thorough re-evaluation and
re-design of many JDK
classes, as well a very exhaustive testing.
Am I missing something here?
Yap, I guess you do.
Try to remove them, and you can be surprised that your configurations will work
better then with them.
Probably better then my words will be to read Phils answers from nearly year
ago:

and especially
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/2d-dev/2012-May/002547.html
However, I'm 100% sure just for linux based builds. For windows I'm going to test later, but have no
idea where to test Mac....
Please note, this is for jdk7+8. Jdk6 still needs those config files.
Best regards,

Hi!
As fontconfig.properties files are no longer necessary for jdk7/8 and
theirs deletion was suggested above, I would like to offer this
clean-up[1] for jdk8(7 if possible later too)
I have tested on fedora, and jdk8 built and run correctly.
Best regards
