This build fixes pa_IN (Punjabi as written in India, with the Gurmukhi
script) characters to show up in Qt 4.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497984
The qt and fontconfig maintainers agreed that fixing this in fontconfig is
the best course forward. (The regression was triggered by a change in
fontconfig between F11 Alpha and F11 Beta which broke Qt's hardcoded
language lookup, see the bug report for details.)
Without this fix, users of pa_IN will end up with black squares instead of
letters and thus a completely unusable desktop and/or completely unusable
apps, so I think it's important to get this fix into F11.
