OK Dan. Now you've confused me. What changes are needed for
fontconfig? There is no formal option --without-add-fonts in fontconfig.
I believe that Alex was just saying not to change fontconfig to add
--with-add-fonts=DIR1,DIR2,..
I also think he was saying to not add a symlink from the Type1 fonts in
the X packages to /usr/share/fonts.
If I'm missing something, please let me know.
