In answer to myself, after a few hours of testing today: 1. The only way to remove a font from fc is to MOVE the actual fonts file(s) to another (neutral) directory someplace. 2. It DOES NOT matter whether that font file(s) is references in any fonts.cache-1 file, if it is physically gone it is ignored by fc. If there are links to the font that are living in some other folder, there is some confusion about the situation. If the original font is moved, then all links to it are broken and so the font *should* still be 'gone', but it *may* still show-up in choosers and fc-list. (Still testing this.) FWIW, Donn. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
