All should be fixed now. Be aware that only the -prog package had its
version bumped. I did not bump the version on all packages since the
changes were such that if the packages were successfully installed, then
the changes did not matter; also, these packages (particularly the
fonts) were huge so it is worth not forcing people to download 20 MB to
get 100 bytes of minor changes.

fontconfig-2.2.0-2 was released and should address all of these issues.
Thanks for notifying me of these issues Igor, I appreciate it.
