Is there an appropriate place to put a global cache file? I was thinking we'd continue to use per-directory caches unless you don't think that will work. The reason here is that each user can add directories to the set, and having only a global cache means that everyone would have a ~/.fonts.cache-2 file. Right now, the local caches are significantly more expensive to use as many additional stat(2) calls are needed to validate the cache. If we need a single global cache, it would need to live in /var somewhere, which is something of a pain as there isn't strong concensus on what /var should look like these days. A quick read through the LSB might provide some suggestions. -keith
