Just to confirm Frederic's answer, the fonts.cache-2 files in /var/cache/fontconfig are directory caches, while ~/.fonts.cache-2 is a global cache. The directory caches are generated by fc-cache (so regular users can't generate them), whereas the global cache is generated on a per-user basis to handle any missing cache information that's no in the directory caches. > $ fc-cat .fonts.cache-2 | wc -l > 0 Probably a bug that I've squashed. pat _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
