[Fontconfig] PATH of fontconfig configration file in static build on Windows

[Raimund Steger]

Hi,

there's code in DllMain (in fccfg.c) that initializes FONTCONFIG_PATH with <DLL location>/../etc/fonts if the DLL is in a "bin" or "lib" subfolder.

If linked statically, DllMain will not be called but all is not lost.
As far as I read FcConfigGetPath, on Win32 a fallback is a directory called "fonts" beneath the GetModuleFileName(NULL,...) result (in this case, the executable directory). See [1]. So you could try putting fonts.conf in there.

Raimund
