Fontconfig exposes the list of files and directories which need to be monitored for changes that might affect the configuration: FcStrList * FcConfigGetFontDirs (FcConfig *config); FcStrList * FcConfigGetConfigDirs (FcConfig *config); FcStrList * FcConfigGetConfigFiles (FcConfig *config); Monitor every file in those lists and you'll know when the configuration might need to be reloaded. You can poll by using: FcBool FcConfigUptoDate (FcConfig *config); which returns TRUE if the configuration is not out of date with the disk files. When it returns FALSE, you can call: FcBool FcInitReinitialize (void) to reinitialize the library. Fontconfig automatically does this process whenever FcFontList is called (but no more often than the rescan interval, which defaults to 30 seconds). -keith
