fontconfig-2.16.2 contains the following change:

From 208584bd006bd586e442307ca4a3e2888f08d4df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Akira TAGOH <akira@tagoh.org>
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2025 16:32:02 +0900
Subject: [PATCH] meson: Use Requires.private instead of Requires

We use FreeType internally though, nothing exposed to applications.
Requires.private should works enough in this case.

Changelog: changed

(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/commit/208584bd006bd586e442307ca4a3e2888f08d4df)

This means that packages that weren't linking correctly with freetype and picking it up via fontconfig will now fail.
