At the very same time we updated MATE we also bumped fontconfig to 
2.13.1 (https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/4494). Aurélien, 
any ideas?

Predrag, do you have fontconfig 2.13.1? And by a chance can you check 
that you don't have a symlink loop from /usr/share/fonts to 
/etc/X11/fontpath.d or something like that?
