Title:
  Consider updating from 2.12 RC4 to 2.12.1 for 17.04

Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Current 16.04+ releases uses fc 2.11.94 (2.12 RC4) for an early fix
  for #1556457. It sounds saner to move to 2.12.1, a non-RC release
  which contains some Unicode table updates, memory leak fixes, and the
  original fix for CVE-2016-5384, for the next Ubuntu release. The ABI
  appears unchanged since 2.11.94.
