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.
