To get information about unknown fonts, I used to put them in some temporary directory and call "fc-cache ." there, then I looked into the cache file. As the caches are now (usually) generated in /var/cache/fontconfig, it has become a bit inconvenient anyway to find out which cache file belongs to which directory, therefore I guess you are right that it doesn't matter to loose that behaviour. If I want to check what cache files are generated for some new, unknown fonts, I'll have to add the temporary directory to ~/.fonts.conf now. That's no big problem, therefore I think you are right that we can forget about directories which are not subdirectories of directories listed in a .conf file. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@xxxxxxx> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
