It currently isn't part of FcDirCacheValid or FcDirCacheCurrentArch's contract to read in the cache file and determine if the cache has the correct MAGIC. However, it would seem to be trivial to add it to FcDirCacheCurrentArch, which should fix this problem. I'll do that in a few minutes. Also, fc-cache has a sleep for 2 seconds, so that might be why it seems to be skipping slowly. fc-cache runs pretty quickly for me, except for the pause at the end. pat _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
