The fontconfig stuff is there to make things more hermetic, so that
differences in development platforms don't affect layout test results.
However, we already have a method of resolving fonts by name -
fontconfig. One could well imagine querying fontconfig for the
locations of the fontfiles by font name before resetting the config to
our hermetic version. I think that would be the correct solution if it
becomes a problem.
