I think I could fix upstream fontconfig to do a more careful check when fc-cache is run and finds font files newer than the cache for their directory. I don't do that at library initialization time for performance reasons, as font files are generally not upgraded in place. That would avoid the need to run dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig (which is certainly a bad plan). The alternative is to fix font packages to run fc-cache -f on their target directories. > I'm not closing the bug as it was reported with other fonts as well (at > least Bitstream Vera). I guess I don't understand what the issue with Vera was. Josselin, did you have a problem with this? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
