Quote from https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt-embedded-fonts.html:

*Qt normally uses fontconfig to provide access to system fonts*. If
> fontconfig is not available, e.g. in dedicated embedded systems where space
> is at a premium, Qt will fall back to using QBasicFontDatabase. In this
> case, Qt applications will look for fonts in Qt's lib/fonts/ directory. Qt
> will automatically detect prerendered fonts and TrueType fonts.


When a Qt application is running on Windows, does it also rely on
fontconfig?
