[Fontconfig] Another try at blocking fallback

[Akira TAGOH]

There are an example of the rejectfont element in
conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf and some clue in fonts.dtd too. also
documented in fonts-conf.5 manpage how it works.

Though I'm not sure how it helps to stop falling back fonts since it
doesn't makes that conditional. do you want to do that with/without
Pango right? as Khaled Hosny suggested, it can be done in Pango
though, there are no way to do that in fontconfig so far and a RFE is
in Bugzilla long while.
