I'm not asking for a list of all applications divided into those which  
work and which do not; I'm asking for a single example of a program which  
uses fontconfig and does not stumble over common everyday fonts.

Your answer was to claim that all bugs in font handling are at the app  
level; when asked for any evidence of that, all you do is shrug your  
shoulders and say you're not interested enough to explain yourself. Either  
you know from using applications that correctly handle fonts that it is  
not the fault of fontconfig, or you do not know where the problem lies. If  
it's the former then why not say?
