Due to precisely same reason why there is ~/.fonts in typical fontconfig
setup.

 BE> If the whole system is on the SD card, it's definitely not FAT.

No, it's not. It's the user-accessible part of device, like $HOME on
PC. Thanks to one OS the only sane choice FS for SD cards is FAT.

 BE> I don't think we have to handle that case.

Then I will have to keep my patch outside of main tree. What a wonderful
idea!
