I've replied to Ross off-list because I'm not sure how much details I should share, but basically we have read-only rootfs which has all the font packages installed, so cache from do_rootfs should remain valid forever. And we delete everything in /var during reset to factory settings (that's why we had to move everything which we want to persist during factory resets like this cache). We also have additional fontconfig patch which ignores timestamp modifications in font directories, so that the cache is considered valid even after some manual modification in rootfs (e.g. in devel images which can be switched to read-write mode). -- Martin 'JaMa' Jansa jabber: martin.ja...@gmail.com
