 Thanks for the investigation. Anyone wants to write a tiny patch for that?

Comment (by Ephraim):

 This seems to be related to fontconfig, so this problem might not exist on
 Windows but Linux and MacOS only? And it might also depend on the versions
 of the libraries used.

 We've found .uuid files in other directories in linux font directories. No
 idea why that is, but having a .uuid file in a torbrowser-container
 doesn't feel like a good idea.

 The file is created on first start of torbrowser as ./Browser/fonts/.uuid
 and once it's created it doesn't change anymore so its mtime shows when
 this installation has been started the first time and the .uuid contains
 an actual unique uuid. Feels much like a tag.

 I've tested creating a symlink in that place pointing to /dev/null and my
 torbrowser still works fine without any sideeffects seen.

 So my suggestion is to address this issue by creating a symlink

 ln -s /dev/null ./Browser/fonts/.uuid

 Currently using torbrowser 8.5.3 on debian sid (fontconfig 2.13.1-2)
 I'm not using KDE, so it's not related.

 FWIW this is the line 145:

 {{{
 142 0xFFF9   
 143 0xFFFA   
 144 0xFFFB

 151 
 152 
 }}}

 (I'm a regular alpha user and I definitely ended up with this)

Comment:

 Do you have steps to reproduce that? I just tested with a clean 7.5.3 and
 updated to 7.5.4 on a 64bit Debian Jessie system and the fonts folder in
 the Browser directory does not contain anything besides the expected
 fonts.

 updating from 7.5.3 to 7.5.4 on linux seems to include a file named
 '.uuid' in the fonts dir that appears to be unique (comparing two
 different updated torbrowsers)
