Hello all. After updating quite a few packages, at some point I noticed that some of my fonts had disappeared. This wasn't too bad till I had to update a movie title, and the font I needed had disappeared too. (Note: When I say 'appear' I mean become available in the GIMP font dialog, or in Inkscape). After a lot of experimenting, I found that renaming the fonts made the appear again. (and renaming the back, mad them disappear again!) I went to /var/cache/fontconfig, and found several cache files ending on -x86, while my system is 64, so I deleted _all_ of files there, and regenerated them with fc-cache. Same thing - only renaming caused the fonts to be included. I straced fc-cache, and find the new fonts _are_ opened, and the following mmap, makes me suspect they are accepted too (by fc-cache). Also tried to run mkfontscale/mkfontdir between updates. I first detected the renaming issue by changing the extension from .TTF to .ttf, but it seems more general than that - just changing any letter in the name works. And no, 'fc-cache --force' doesn't solve the problem either. Can someone please indicate me where to look? fc-cache is version 2.6.0, distro is Slackware 13.1.
