Hi, I think this may be a long standing issue and worked around with waiting for a few sec after updating the cache. but I've got a report and still reproducible and finally tracked it down and created 100% reproducible test case by having a logic to get rid of that conditional state. Let me explain how it happens first. fc-cache reads the directory to update the directory cache. as you may know this affects reading the sub-directories to find out fonts. If one is installing a new font while updating and finished reading the sub-directories on it. it won't updates the cache even if a directory is created/removed/renamed. and the cache is created without a directory where being installed a new font and won't be updated so that the cache's timestamp is newer than it. We may need to watch the changes on the directory while updating though, I just want to discuss the possible and the simple solution on this here.
