I just saw a probably similar symptom.
It took a bit of thinking to figure out what I was seeing, but
inspiration eventually struck. It looks like, given an absolute
path named $foo, then:
:; cd $foo && fc-cache -f .
results in different cache files than:
:; fc-cache -f $foo
In the former case the paths in the cache files are relative to $foo,
in the latter they are absolute.
Ie, I got paths like:
"./GhostPCL/URW_Fonts/A028-Med.ttf"
where I should have gotten:
"/usr/local/share/fonts/GhostPCL/URW_Fonts/A028-Med.ttf"
when I ran 'fc-cache -fv .' in /usr/local/share/fonts. Re-running
with 'fc-cache -fv /usr/local/share/fonts' got the correct results.
