[Auto mailings of changes to Lily Issues via Testlilyissues-auto]

Updating fontconfig 2.11.1 is contained by another pull request:
https://github.com/gperciva/gub/pull/18
Since it has been merged (2015-08-23), I closed the pull request #16.

So I believe that this issue has already been solved since LilyPond 2.19.26 (2015-08-27).
Moreover, current GUB's fontconfig is 2.12.1.

[issues:#3589] fontconfig distributed in lilypond binaries doesn't look up in ~/.local/share/fonts

In Gnome 3 the default directory for fonts is ~/.local/share/fonts (e.g.: it's where fonts are copied when you open an .otf file using gnome-font-viewer).
While debugging the problem discussed in the link above, I've found out that:

- the debian package (2.16.2) can find the font in .local/share/fonts
- the binary packages distributed by lilypond.org (tested version 2.16.2 and 2.17.27) cannot find it. It looks up only ~/.fonts; so a temporary solution is adding a symlink:
ln -s ~/.local/share/fonts ~/.fonts

but I think that the problem should be solved
