MPlayer has the '-nofontconfig' switch but for a really long time this has had no effect, it still uses fontconfig and creates a cache and users don't like it. The only other thing I can think of is to disable fontconfig at compile time, but maintaining multiple builds for a small minority who hate the font cache isn't desirable to me.

I'm not using harfbuzz. Heard too many problems with its rendering anyway.

I think I will explore removing the "WINDOWSFONTDIR" from the fonts.conf 
scan list.
