Description Pavel Koshevoy 2012-08-28 00:50:13 UTC 
a fatal error occurs when initializing fontconfig font cache on 
windows. The problem is due to access(.., W_OK|X_OK) call(s) in fccache.c

According to 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1w06ktdy%28v=vs.80%29.aspx 01 
permission (X_OK in mingw/cygwin headers) is not a valid parameter, and 
it causes a fatal error terminating the program.

A possible workaround on the capplication side is to re-implement the access(..) function to mask out the X_OK (01) bit from the permissions 
bitmask, and then call _access with corrected permissions.

removed all of X_OK thing from the code in git. it should works now.
