Yes, that's best -- fc-cache stores information about the fonts in global files. If it's not run, the first fontconfig application started after the filesystem change will spend a moment or two scanning the new fonts. > Can fc-cache be ran just to update for that single font or should it > rebuild for all fonts? fc-cache checks file and directory timestamps, scanning only files which have changed since the cache was built. If you install a few new fonts, it should run very quickly. You can pass the '-f' option to force every font to be rescanned; you'll want to do that when you install a new version of fontconfig itself as the new version may have bugs fixed in font scanning which can only be fixed by ignoring any existing information. -keith -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
