Could it be by default the current working directory instead? Or, try/else added to the code which would try to write into cwd if $HOME (aka $MPLCONFIGDIR) returns an error? I will set the variable in my scripts but too late for those already in the queue. ;-) Thanks.

The stuff we store there is meant to be persistent between runs, primarily a cache of all the fonts we find on your system. So defaulting to the current working directory is not a good idea because then we would have configs littered across the filesystem and would not be able to take advantage of the information gleaned from previous runs from other directories.

I'm sure we could, but from an implementation perspective it would probably be easier to spoof it with a virtual filesystem and files using string io or equivalent. I think this would be a good feature if anyone wants to pursue it.
