Sorry, I don't understand your response.  (I don't know much about fontconfig,
nor about the motivations and details of the changes apparently made to
fontconfig for the benefits of flatpak.  What I as a LO developer would like to
avoid if possible is a change in the fontconfig API, where LO would have to
support both the old and new API for the foreseeable future.  That's why I kept
asking.  But sure, if there is no good possibility to avoid that, then so be
it.)
