No. Many Win32 apps run with glibc 2.1.3
It's possible that some run with 2.2 but not 2.1.3, of course.

This fixme happens also on glibc 2.2.2. In fact, more 'fixme'
appear under glibc 2.2 ;-)

Maybe your apps dies while trying to download font information.
Or you kill it before it has finished (it can take easily one minute
or even more if you have a huge amount of fonts in your X system)
Try to wait 5 minutes. The cacheing of fonts should not happen
again,  unless you change your config.
