You might want to try with the Freetype renderer as well. It uses CFFI to talk directly with the Fontconfig library.

From your path I'm guessing you're on mac? There is a tool called
"fontconfig" for linux. It could be that someone decided to call out to
that program, expecting it to be around. It's a guess, and I don't have
the source nor time to confirm at the moment. If someone don't have a
better suggestion it might be worth following up on.
