The old version of fontconfig can't parse the config files on newer operating systems (like Ubuntu 19.10 or 20.04) and applications that use it take a ton of time to load (about 1 minute in my case) after encountering these problems.
The issue is fixed by updating the version of servo-fontconfig in Cargo.toml, which in turn links to a newer version of fontconfig itself.
