While I haven't done it, it's my understanding that it is safe to
delete the fontconfig cache files. They're a performance optimization.

The trouble is that in Fedora, we generate them at package install
time; I don't _think_ anything else ever recreates the system cache. I
guess another option would be to move this to user sessions and rely on
~/.cache/fontconfig somehow. Maybe someone from the desktop team can
weigh in here.... I've got files in that directory on my systems, some
of them recent, and I'm not sure how they got there.
