I hope you realize what a performance cost this is -- fontconfig has been designed to cache information about fonts reasonably efficiently; on my system with 3382 font files, 'fc-list foo', which reads the entire database scanning it for any fonts named 'foo', takes 19ms. If fontconfig doesn't provide the interface you need, please build what you want and let us see it. We can't fix the library if you continue to work around it. -- keith.packard@xxxxxxxxx
