Oh, your most recent messages appeared below the fontconfig patch thread

The missing fonts were in images (PNG files) embedded in the manual, so
it does not matter what you have installed: they are not rendered when
you open the .png, unlike e.g. SVG or a rich text document.

The difference is that Pango (and its consumers) did not recognize the
built-in fallback font in fontconfig which was previously 'gs-fonts',
now changed to 'font-dejavu'.
