Re:Re: Suggest add font: font-wqy-microhei
Hi, tumashuwrites: > If we need to use "fc-cache -f", suggest add it to document. Maybe we finally have enough fonts to justify a font-build-system, which would run "fc-cache -f" at the end of it, or do something similar?

Re:Re: Suggest add font: font-wqy-microhei
If we need to use "fc-cache -f", suggest add it to document.

Re:Re: Suggest add font: font-wqy-microhei
When I install a font with a non-root account, the font just can't be found by "fc-list", and run "fc-cache" is useless too, But run "fc-cache -f" can cache the installed font, it it a bug or just my machine problom?

Re:Re: Suggest add font: font-wqy-microhei
Thanks for your help, I have coded like you said, but when I install it, I can't find it with fc-list, Any suggestion?
