Confirmed. not available when X11 isn't installed. Too bad, because  
that would have made it a lot easier. I'm not sure if you can tell  
fontconfig to use relative paths or anything (should be possible for  
windows dll or fontconfig). You can give it a fonts.conf by exporting  
an env. variable, but that seems like a terrible solution to me.
