From Werner

[... replacing] 2.12.6 [... with] 2.12.93 indeed provides ~100x
improvement and builds the cache on my system in 600ms.

This was a report of using fontconfig on Windows, IIRC. So my
question: Does the Windows tarball of lilypond contain a recent
fontconfig version?

According to
https://github.com/gperciva/gub/blob/master/gub/specs/fontconfig.py
it's 2.12.1.

Should we upgrade? Masamichi-san?

From Masamichi Hosoda

For LilyPond 2.21, we should upgrade fontconfig, in my humble opinion.
But, for LilyPond 2.20, I'm wondering whether we should upgrade or not.

If I understand correctly, the new fontconfig has significant changes.
