There was a bug in some older versions of fontconfig which would not correctly update the per-user cache file in all circumstances. You may be hitting that here. To work around it, make sure your per-directory cache files are all up-to-date by running fc-cache When this is working, fontconfig should check only the timestamps on the directories themselves, and not every font file. -keith -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
