Weasyprint.exe : Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file: No such file: (null)

[aditya119]

Executing the weasyprint.exe works on some machines but fails on others. Please let me know if there are some prerequisites to run the exe properly, I think the GTK and python installation is needed only for using it as a library. I have seen other issues but they focus on running weasyprint python library on Windows, whereas I'm just trying to run the exe.

It is working fine on my development system, but fails with above error when deploying to server.

I have added various stack traces that I could extract:
