Inkscape won't crash anymore due to an invalid/missing fontconfig configuration.
The reason for the crash was that fontconfig could not provide a single fallback font in this case (as invalid fontconfig = no font faces available at all) and Inkscape did not handle this properly (it always expected at least one fallback font to be available).
Obviously one will not be able to create any text in this situation, but aside from that all UI functionality seems to be available.
The patch also adds debug output that looks as follows in the scenario described above:
** (inkscape.exe:7684): CRITICAL **: Could not load any face for font 'sans-serif 512'.
Fix committed to master in /gitlab. com/inkscape/ inkscape/ compare/ 9d04be759628dc9 b743b9a8c0f12ae c16a9090a8. ..74d871992d764 1101f8c26e934b9 6ae72d851c93
