Well, the current state of continuous recreation of $HOME/.fonts.cache
is certainly worse than having to run fc-cache after font installation.
fc-cache does not have to be run as root, I can use it just fine as an
ordinary user to create a font cache in $HOME/.fonts.
Yes. However, that cache is just a cache for the .fonts directory, not
for the system fonts.
But regardless of this discussion, I'm still seeing some problems with
current CVS. Repeatedly running fc-list : makes $HOME/.fonts.cache-2
change its size (for me it oscillates between 141434 and 141538), so
it is obviously being rewritten every time, even though the set of
installed fonts does not change at all.
fc-cat does not list any fonts when run on $HOME/.fonts.cache-2.
When run on one of the directory caches in /var/cache/fontconfig, it
produces garbage in the charset fields.
I've fixed the fc-cat bug for the global cache. I haven't observed any
garbage in fc-cat on charset fields. Currently fontconfig isn't
properly reading the global cache, so I'm taking a look at this.
