Where in the code does wine read fonts?

I checked out the source and found a lot of good stuff in "winex11.drv/xfont.c", but I am not sure this is actually the code, that gets executed when my wine boots. What I experience, is that wine reads the X fonts, using the fontconfig library. Is that correct?

When I revert to the old cache I had before rebuild, it gets fast again. Listing the cache content (using "fc-list") yields the same amount of fonts before and after rebuild, so I find it strange with the extra boot time. Actually, it would be better for me to NOT have wine read the X fonts (I think).

~/wine/dlls$ git grep -l FONTCONFIG
gdi32/Makefile.in
gdi32/freetype.c
winex11.drv/xrender.c
