It never was necessary to reinstall fontconfig, all people had to do was read the page in BLFS on configuring X windows components and learn how to update /etc/fonts/local.confJust think of the number of posts from folks who were told to reinstall fontconfig after X was installed. It's simply not necessary with this solution. All that's needed is a rerun of fc-cache after X installation.
