I do not know how fontconfig works on Windows.

On linux fontconfig keeps track of all the fonts installed on the system,
so installing it for only one program would not make sense.
If you include fontconfig with a gnuplot binary for Windows, would you
also have to include lots of fonts?  If so I don't think we want to do that.
