In FcStrListCreate() we were increasing reference count of set,
however, if set had a const reference (which is the case for list
of languages), and with multiple threads, the const ref (-1) was
getting up to 1 and then a decrease was destroying the set. Ouch.
Here's the valgrind error, which took me quite a few hours of
running to catch:

Thread test is running happily now. Will add the test in a moment.
We used to have a shared-str pool. Removed to make thread-safety
work easier. My measurements show that the extra overhead is not
significant by any means.
These never worked as intended. The problem is, if Fontconfig tries to
read config files when these new types / constants are not registered,
it errs. As a result, no defined types / constants are usable from
config files. Which makes these really useless. Xft was the only user
of this API and even there it's not really used. Just kill it.
One inch closer to thread-safety since we can fix the object-type hash
table at compile time.
The type will be resolved at runtime...
For example, we can do this now without getting a warning:
<match target="font">
<test name="scalable" compare="eq">
<bool>false</bool>
</test>
<edit name="pixelsizefixupfactor" mode="assign">
<divide>
<name target="pattern">pixelsize</name>
<name target="font" >pixelsize</name>
</divide>
</edit>
<edit name="matrix" mode="assign">
<times>
<name>matrix</name>
<matrix>
<name>pixelsizefixupfactor</name> <double>0</double>
<double>0</double> <name>pixelsizefixupfactor</name>
</matrix>
</times>
</edit>
<edit name="size" mode="assign">
<divide>
<name>size</name>
<name>pixelsizefixupfactor</name>
</divide>
</edit>
</match>
Previously the last edit was generating:
Fontconfig warning: "/home/behdad/.local/etc/fonts/conf.d/00-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 29: saw unknown, expected number
Based on idea from Raimund Steger.
For example, one can do something like this:
<match target="font">
<test name="scalable" compare="eq">
<bool>false</bool>
</test>
<edit name="pixelsizefixupfactor" mode="assign">
<divide>
<name target="pattern">pixelsize</name>
<name target="font" >pixelsize</name>
</divide>
</edit>
<edit name="matrix" mode="assign">
<times>
<name>matrix</name>
<matrix>
<name>pixelsizefixupfactor</name> <double>0</double>
<double>0</double> <name>pixelsizefixupfactor</name>
</matrix>
</times>
</edit>
</match>
Part of work to make bitmap font scaling possible. See thread
discussion:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2012-December/004498.html
Previously a <matrix> element could only accept four <double> literals.
It now accepts full expressions, which can in turn poke into the
pattern, do math, etc.
After 7587d1c99d applied, family,
style, and fullname is localized against current locale or lang
if any though, the string in other languages were dropped from
the pattern. this caused unexpected mismatch on the target="font"
rules.
This fix adds other strings at the end of the list.
X_OK checking was added back in 8ae1e3d5dc
which was removed due to the same reason in
238489030a.
apparently the test case in Bug#18934 still works without it.
so I'm removing it again to get this working on Windows.
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 8: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf.d is deprecated.
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
Be polite and do not issue the warning if deprecated config includes
(e.g. ~/.fonts.conf.d and/or ~/.fonts.conf) do not exist.
