Hi,
Without fontconfig, wish(Tk) seems to crash on the attempt to create
widgets (which requires some fonts to render text) like the following:
$ DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 wish
% label .l -text "foo" <--- crash
It seems that libfontconfig is already installed;
but is there any reason not to install fontconfig package as a
dependency of Tk?

I have very recently had the same problem with pango - the library
complained that it could not match any fonts. After installing
fontconfig it all worked.
