I compiled LilyPond from scratch using FontConfig 2.16.

$ rpm -q fontconfig
fontconfig-2.16.0-2.fc42.x86_64

Fedora is using this version since January:
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/fontconfig/fontconfig/fedora-42.html

I don't think I can remove the VF fonts:

$ sudo dnf remove *noto*-vf*
Failed to resolve the transaction:

I guess I will have to use a container to build lilypond. Which Linux 
distro should work fine?
