libfontconfig-devel-2.15.0-1 links wrong DLL

[Masamichi Hosoda]

Hi

If I understand correctly,
libfontconfig-devel-2.15.0-1 links wrong DLL (i.e. libfontconfig-1.dll)
instead of correct DLL (i.e. cygfontconfig-1.dll).
Since the wrong DLL does not exist,
the executable file using libfontconfig-devel-2.15.0-1 cannot be executed.

```
$ cat foo.c
#include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>

int main(void)
{
  FcInit();
  return 0;
}

$ gcc -o foo foo.c -lfontconfig

$ ldd foo
        ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7ffccda50000)
        KERNEL32.DLL => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNEL32.DLL (0x7ffccc230000)
        KERNELBASE.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNELBASE.dll (0x7ffccb590000)
        cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x7ffcb3ff0000)
        libfontconfig-1.dll => not found

$
```

Using the previous version, libfontconfig-devel-2.13.1-2, it is fine.

```
$ gcc -o foo foo.c -lfontconfig

$ ldd foo
        ntdll.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x7ffccda50000)
        KERNEL32.DLL => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNEL32.DLL (0x7ffccc230000)
        KERNELBASE.dll => /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/KERNELBASE.dll (0x7ffccb590000)
        cygwin1.dll => /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll (0x7ffcb3ff0000)
        cygfontconfig-1.dll => /usr/bin/cygfontconfig-1.dll (0x507fd0000)
        cygexpat-1.dll => /usr/bin/cygexpat-1.dll (0x5d5bf0000)
        cygfreetype-6.dll => /usr/bin/cygfreetype-6.dll (0x51c6b0000)
        cygintl-8.dll => /usr/bin/cygintl-8.dll (0x5ee2d0000)
        cyggcc_s-seh-1.dll => /usr/bin/cyggcc_s-seh-1.dll (0x50caa0000)
        cygiconv-2.dll => /usr/bin/cygiconv-2.dll (0x3d2a10000)
        cygbrotlidec-1.dll => /usr/bin/cygbrotlidec-1.dll (0x42f930000)
        cygz.dll => /usr/bin/cygz.dll (0x597fd0000)
        cygbz2-1.dll => /usr/bin/cygbz2-1.dll (0x3e1e30000)
        cygpng16-16.dll => /usr/bin/cygpng16-16.dll (0x5a9870000)
        cygbrotlicommon-1.dll => /usr/bin/cygbrotlicommon-1.dll (0x4678a0000)

Thanks for the report. I'll fix that and release version 2.15.0-2.

libfontconfig-common-2.15.0-2 system font cache directory settings seem to be wrong

[Masamichi Hosoda]

Hi

If I understand correctly,
the system font cache directory setting in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
provided by libfontconfig-common-2.15.0-2 is wrong.

In /etc/fonts/fonts.conf provided by libfontconfig-common-2.13.1-2

```
       <cachedir>/var/cache/fontconfig</cachedir>
```

So `fc-cache -s` creates system font cache files in `/var/cache/fontconfig`.
It is correct because `/var/cache` is a common system cache directory.

In /etc/fonts/fonts.conf provided by libfontconfig-common-2.15.0-2

```
       <cachedir>LOCAL_APPDATA_FONTCONFIG_CACHE</cachedir>
```

So `fc-cache -s` creates system font cache files
in `./LOCAL_APPDATA_FONTCONFIG_CACHE`.
`LOCAL_APPDATA_FONTCONFIG_CACHE` directory is created
in the *current* directory when fc-cache.
It is wrong because it means that
processes with different current directories have
different system font cache directories,
and the caches are no longer shared.

Thanks for the report. You are right.
I'll release 2.15.0-3 to fix that.
