No there isn't. You can, of course, point the cache file at a non-existant directory, which will (silently) fail to work. This will have a similar effect, unless somehow the named direction is created at some point in the future. Note that if you have any font directories which are out of sync with their cache files, every application in the system will rescan those fonts to compute their own version of the font information. As a correlary, if every directory is in sync, the .fonts.cache-1 file will be empty. Can you explain what problem you're trying to solve? Perhaps there's a different solution than not having a per-user cache file. -keith -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
