I notice though, that FcDirCacheValid() needs to become a bit smarter. It should not consider a cache valid if it doesn't contain a section for the current platform. Otherwise, fc-cache may fail to add a section for the current plaform, since the cache file appears uptodate, timestamp-wise. Matthias
