Please ignore the previous mail
 
Seeing code of fontconfig 2.11.1, the patch ins the discussion

 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/?id=6d65081e35fc1ffae1212f173853b0693645192e

* is applied 
for static build on windows,

The application using fontconfig, it  sees the directory (where exe exist)/fonts to search the font
if FONTCONFIG_PATH is not set.

For my case,
I just copied etc/fonts to bin/fonts
fc-list worked.

Thanks!

Tatsuro
