Please open suitable bug reports for fontconfig issues at
http://fontconfig.org/bugzilla and supply patches relative to current CVS 
instead of version 2.1.  Each problem will need a separate bugzilla entry 
that includes enough information about what is wrong to evaluate whether 
the supplied patch is the right way to fix the issue.

likely resolved in current fontconfig CVS versions.
