Once the cache file is properly initialized on all platforms, then it sure looks like a platform-independent file to me. For cache generation, it's just a matter of running fc-cache a number of times, rather than just once. It's also not like fontconfig will die if a cache file is not properly initialized for a particular architecture; it will then just cache the fonts in the local cache file. pat
