PR Summary

Closes #15625.
See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/blob/a919700f/README#L1399 for relevant fontconfig changelog entry.
The requirement for fc>=2.7 came in in #2433 (just 4y after the release of fc2.7) and #15625 (10y after the release of fc2.7) appears to be the first instance of someone running a too-old fontconfig, so I think we can reasonably choose to not support older versions.

PR Checklist

  • Has Pytest style unit tests
  • Code is Flake 8 compliant
  • New features are documented, with examples if plot related
  • Documentation is sphinx and numpydoc compliant
  • Added an entry to doc/users/next_whats_new/ if major new feature (follow instructions in README.rst there)
  • Documented in doc/api/api_changes.rst if API changed in a backward-incompatible way
