There are other PDF viewers that are based on Poppler and such a warning is not output.

That's something that they would have to solve. If I understand correctly, the new fontconfig version was not ready yet for Debian, and it would also require a soname bump (when ready). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
