FTFactory.java: Fonts loaded by Pango are never registered and always return <null>

I'm running on Ubuntu desktop, and I can gladly report that it works
fine. I think I saw fp wasn't null, but I'll check later. Maybe my only
fix was ignoring a 'false'. According to
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fontconfig&sektion=3&apropos=0&manpath=XFree86+4.5.0
FcConfigAppFontAddFile returns a FcBool, and I did see the rc is 0.
Although ignoring the result does work, can it be something that is
lacking in the environment? The Yocto embedded Linux is naked from the
start, so it is totally possible that something else is missing.
Maurice.
(my pride on finding the flaw is quickly diminishing...)
