Well, ffmpeg calls the fontconfig functions so it has the same environment.

Even, if a sub-process was spawned or a thread created it would still have the
same environment. But this is not the case. FFmpeg is just calling fontconfig
functions. Thus setting an env var in ffmpeg should get picked up by the
fontconfig lib. And this is exactly my point. I have no idea why it does not
get picked up.
