fonts.conf must be in UTF-8 encoding or it will fail to load.  8-bit 
Latin-1 will generate errors in the UTF-8 parser, and on reflection it 
makes sense that this will happen even inside comments as the UTF-8 parser 
would have a hard time finding the end of the comment if the characters 
within were ill-formed.
