One thing I've noticed is that if one installs a new fontconfig-handled
font, Emacs can't use it unless you restart, whereas typical gtk apps
can use the new font immediately.

It would be nice if Emacs could see newly installed fonts automatically,
or at least have some way of telling it to re-read fontconfig info
(I tried (clear-font-cache), but that had no apparent effect)...

Thanks,
