Hi,

Mark H Weaver <mhw@netris.org> skribis:

The problem is that the cache should be mutable so that one can run
=E2=80=9Cfc-cache -f=E2=80=9D after having dropped files in ~/.local/share/=
fonts, for
instance.

That said, quite surprisingly, I think I never had to run =E2=80=98fc-cache=
=E2=80=99
except in the situation above.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
