MPlayer has the '-nofontconfig' switch but for a really long time this has had no effect, it still uses fontconfig and creates a cache and users don't like it. The only other thing I can think of is to disable fontconfig at compile time, but maintaining multiple builds for a small minority who hate the font cache isn't desirable to me.

I just wondered one thing: are you compiling with harfbuzz library?
If I remember correctly it is supposed to be able to replace fontconfig and does not need to build a font cache on Windows (though I might be remembering incorrectly).
