with todays CVS snapshot of the fontconfig 2.4 branch:
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ fc-list : family file | grep -i zenkai
./ukai.ttf: AR PL ZenKai Uni
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ ls -li --time-style=full-iso ukai.ttf
197011 -rw-r--r-- 1 mfabian suse 14296192 2005-10-14 14:47:03.000000000 +0200 ukai.ttf
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ ls -lid --time-style=full-iso .
5505413 drwxr-xr-x 3 mfabian suse 4096 2005-10-14 14:51:01.000000000 +0200 ./
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$
Now move the font to a new name and move it back:
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ mv ukai.ttf ukai-new.ttf
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ mv ukai-new.ttf ukai.ttf
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ ls -li --time-style=full-iso ukai.ttf
197011 -rw-r--r-- 1 mfabian suse 14296192 2005-10-14 14:47:03.000000000 +0200 ukai.ttf
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ ls -lid --time-style=full-iso .
5505413 drwxr-xr-x 3 mfabian suse 4096 2005-10-14 14:52:52.000000000 +0200 ./
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$
The font still has the same i-node and time stamp and the time-stamp
of the directory is changed (as expected). Now run "fc-cache -v ."
again:
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ fc-cache -v .
fc-cache: ".": caching, 71 fonts, 1 dirs
fc-cache: "./kde-override": skipping, 0 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: succeeded
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$
And now the font appears to be gone:
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ fc-list : family file | grep -i zenkai
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$
With fontconfig 2.3.2, the font was still available at this point!
Run fc-cache once more adding the force option:
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ fc-cache -v -f .
fc-cache: ".": caching, 71 fonts, 1 dirs
fc-cache: "./kde-override": caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs
fc-cache: succeeded
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$ fc-list : family file | grep -i zenkai
./ukai.ttf: AR PL ZenKai Uni
mfabian@magellan:~/.fonts$
Now the font has appeared again.
