Be careful updating fontconfig, has impact on font caches and the configurations generated, esp re:backwards compatibility.

Yeah. I've had some problems trying to use Nix app that depends on fontconfig 2.12.6 on Arch host with fontconfig 2.13.1

I'm not sure what kind of incompatibility it is, but perhaps upgrading is not just a version bump.

Slightly cleaner errors, since most of those syscalls are writes:

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 5: unknown element "its:rules"
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 6: unknown element "its:translateRule"
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 6: invalid attribute 'translate'
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 6: invalid attribute 'selector'
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 7: invalid attribute 'xmlns:its'
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 7: invalid attribute 'version'
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 9: unknown element "description"
Fontconfig error: Cannot load config file from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf

I believe this is just Arch shipping an updated configuration for fontconfig which isn't supported by the old 2.12.x, which can be fixed by using an older config.
