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.
