Well, I seem to have got this working but my fonts aren't actually available 
to applications (at least not in KDE). Even if it had worked fully, xfs is 
missing many features of fontconfig that I require such as per font 
anti-aliasing settings and font substitution. Which brings me back to my 
original question... there must be some way to use fontconfig without getting 
huge application start-up delays. Has nobody got this working correctly?
