That said you are facing this issue because you didn't do that. once we
stop attempting to automatically creating/updating/removing caches, you'll
see another problem, "hey, no fonts is available" ;)
Thinking of seeing such issues many times, I'm wondering if leaving the
cache creation to the users would be really a good idea.
