Long delay in first use of fontconfig features in gd terminal in my MinGW build

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

This is not a bug but a slightly annoying matter.

For the gnuplot binaries for windows built by me,
If I use fontconfig features in gd terminal for example

gnuplot> set term png font 'Times New Roman'

If it is used for the first time, a long delay happes in first use.
(depending on environment. ca. several ten seconds).

However, once the fontconfig features is used, delay does not occur.

For cairo based terminal, this delay does not occur.

For the binary provided by Bastian, this delay does not occur.

Have anyone seen the similar issue?
