I have fixed this problem.  Let me know if that clears up the problem
for you.  Tomorrow (after I get back from sailing), I intend to write up
some quick docs of the cache format and see if I can whip together an
fc-dump binary; then I'll package the development snapshot 2.3.90.

keithp: I've added the FC_RENDER member back to the FcBaseObjectTypes
array; it was previously commented out.  We do put FC_RENDERs into
FcPatterns, although I guess that we don't write them out to disk.  So
fontconfig was trying to write an FC_RENDER element into an FcPattern,
failing, and bailing.  Does this look like the correct solution to you?

        * fontconfig/fontconfig.h:
        * src/fcname.c:

        Add a global binding for the 'render' pattern element used by
        Xft; the lack of said binding prevented programs from using
	FcPatterns in Xft.
