This is working pretty well now. I think some lines still look kind  
of different from Windows, possibly because of Shadow, but it's not  
significant.

I had to change two things:
* The inability to match any font was apparently a bug in fontconfig  
(2.3.94), since it works again if I replace FcPatternGet in  
ass_fontconfig with the typed versions (http://www.fontconfig.org/ 
fontconfig-devel/r527.html).

* I had to disable sub_recode, because it crashed on loading every  
external sub I tried.
Here's a gdb log, although it's not very helpful since optimizations  
are on:

I'll look more into that.
