Yes, the cairo backend uses fontconfig for fonts discovery, but...

...the art backend, which is the default (both upstream and in Debian)
needs all font descriptions in the .nfont format.  So we have to look
how to generate these files with the fc-* tools only, and preferrably
add a triggerized regeneration when a font is installed or removed.
