Hi,

On Intel Clear Linux (freshly installed), juce applications can’t find any default font. The issue seems to be that JUCE can’t locate the fonts.conf file.

Adding /usr/share/defaults/fonts/fonts.conf in the search path fixes the issue:

```
static std::unique_ptr<XmlElement> findFontsConfFile()
{
    static const char* pathsToSearch[] = { "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf",
                                           "/usr/share/fonts/fonts.conf",
                                           "/usr/share/defaults/fonts/fonts.conf"
    };

    for (auto* path : pathsToSearch)
        if (auto xml = parseXML (File (path)))
            return xml;

    return {};
}

```

(I don’t know if that is a good fix, or an ugly hack, tbh)
