You may want to look at what font files are listed after "system
('fc-list.exe')". This will give you a hint on what font files are actually 
found by fontconfig. As for including fonts in non standard location, you
can try

  fontdir = 'C:\Users\Brett\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts';
  system (sprintf ('fc-cache.exe %s', fontdir));

This should scan the provided directory.
