Hmm, glib ensures that g_get_prgname() returns something as long as
applications uses GOption? IIUC it is different thing between glib and
fontconfig. of course that would be a good idea that it works without
GOption though. anyway, there may be the case in current implementation of
fontconfig that FcGetPrgname() returns NULL. implementing some fallbacks as
much as possible isn't a bad idea IMHO.
