A more crusty piece of code than xdvi you never did see. It's very
much in bugfix only mode upstream, so I very much doubt upstream, such
as it is, will be moving to a modern tool kit and using fontconfig. I
don't think it'd be  a useful expenditure of time in any case. A
better expenditure of time would be to work out what (if any)
functionality is missing in evince-dvi which prevents us from dropping
xdvi altogether.
