Playing around, for the fontconfig case in FontCfgWrapper::getFontSet
we have
   addFontSet( FcSetSystem );
   addFontSet( FcSetApplication );
where the FcSetSystem adds the system fonts and the other adds the
application fonts. Omitting the first one would restrict to only our
bundled fonts (but break make check on distro builds that use system
fonts).

Maybe there is some scope for asserting if a font is substituted if
gb_CppunitTest_use_more_fonts is used.
