Fontconfig regression bug

From fontconfig 2.17.1-1 to fontconfig 2.18, many of my GUI applications broke as well:
- LocalSend only shows a black screen.
- Wolfram Notebook crashes with
Segmentation fault (core dumped). - OBS either fails to start or crashes when I click the Settings menu.
After downgrading back to 2.17.1-1, everything works normally again.
As a bonus, I can finally remove those Flatpak alternatives -_-.
Maybe it’s time to set up timeshift ?
