However, users who add fonts on their own would definitely *not* know, and programs that do it are not currently explicitly running fc-cache, so there'd be a big installed base problem to deal with. I think automated out-of-date cache detection and cache updating must stay for $HOME. It's only system fonts that are problematic for me (though even for $HOME we need to avoid mega-statting, as now, and we *also* need to be robust against filesystems with coarse-granularity timestamps. Both of these behaviours currently appear to be broken.) -- NULL && (void) _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
