I also prefer the second patch. Changing the default behaviour means that for 
a lot of users things will stop working all of a sudden.

Notice that the way you do it, fontconfig will still be initialized. This 
means reading and possibly rebuilding font cache, feeding memory fonts to 
freetype. It's better to avoid all this by calling non-fontconfig versions of 
_init and _select if (font_fontconfig<0).
