-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 What was the rationale behind putting fontconfig cache into temporary directory? On *nix it resides in /var/cache/fontconfig. Unlike /var/cache/, Windows tempdir: 1) May be user-specific. So you'll have 1 fontcache per each user. 2) Is exposed to various cleaning utilities, which may not know how to clean up fontconfig cache, and whether to clean it up at all. IMU, fc cache is not something that really needs cleaning (you need it as long as you have FC-dependent applications installed). Cache can be re-generated, but that takes time and I/O. I'm not sure how cache-rebuild is triggered - normally a fontconfig package has a list of directories changes to which will trigger a cache rebuild. W32 has no decent package manager, and i don't think that applications keep track of fonts. Which means that it's important to not to lose fontcache. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRWw3eAAoJEOs4Jb6SI2CwyMIH/RF2DAlAakHj68gYS72PNyHJ egRSaIxXE+qOPRvk49owlRScF7N5JIGRbgAk5oAD3jJD6Jya/i5PFd23tM8FWV7i GQl7whqkNnUHZRetpZZM04Z+CCJlfYwMrqT7sk+gnXYhWEYqXobSQY7dJpBjqevj OSHVTI9fRF+92epW9D2R7TCmGTgyoSjulQGBbUk/O2tHaYvmcVA4NFsxOLIiE1Hg G0pOuHRMUlcI3PR4ts3eeR88Plls9zZ/g+I4Px+J097OkYw2xFU1gKqLfPzTTWEp 1qUtpGbDBjNn+XhIBR76hkMHsDGGRRxKMQ/3BcyflLV2TvlRLzjUQO9HWY7fsVU= =bwvL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
