[tlbuild] Problems with xdvipdmfx (at least) and some fonts

of course it was not. ;)

The attached patch goes three steps further:

1) It finally removes the debug output.

2) It checks for non-outline fonts in the font set and skipps them.

Apparently I was wrong when I stated

As it turns out, I was right "by accident" because I have non-outline
fonts globally disabled in my fontconfig setup. However, I have learned
from this thread that "[FcFontSort() called with "outline=true"
pattern] prefers outline fonts, but will return non-outline if they add
to the global coverage."

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2015-August/005551.html

3) It uses the API as indended and calls FcConfigSubstitute() and
FcDefaultSubstitute() before calling FcFontSort(). This was simply
forgotten in the previous patch.

Thank you very much for your patience!

Cheers,

Fabian
