Description

In #11954 a significant memory leak was resolved, but a smaller instance of a leak remains.
This seems to happen internally in libpango. The trace using leak sanitizer looks like:

A new thread is used to initialise the libfontconfig code, where it appears a leak occurs. This can be because of the code in that library, or the way that the pango library calls this functionality. This is to be investigated further.
