Description

I am getting a fontconfig problem in plot:

# racket
Welcome to Racket v7.1.
> (require plot/no-gui)
> (plot-file (function (lambda (x) (sin (* 4 x))) -1 1) #:x-min -1.5 #:x-max 1.5 #:y-min -1.5 #:y-max 1.5 "foo.png")
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 100: unknown element "blank"

Research direction

Reproduce the reported plot-file command in the Racket v7.1 Docker image and capture the fontconfig warning. Trace the image's fontconfig setup to identify the source of the unknown "blank" element; done means the command runs without this warning.
