+ <p>
+ Font cache data are created each time a font in MetaFont
+ format is used, and placed by default
+ in <var>TEXMFVAR</var>. During package build, this has to
+ be avoided. In order to be able to clean up the generated
+ files (and only those), the font cache should instead be
+ put below the build directory. This can be achieved by
+ setting <var>TEXMFVAR</var> to a subdirectory of the
+ current directory,
+ e.g. <file><var>$(CURDIR)</var>/.texmf-var</file>, using
+ Make's built-in variable. Packages which do not
+ change <var>TEXMFVAR</var> <em>must</em> not create
+ documentation that uses MetaFont fonts in
+ the <tt>binary</tt> target.
