Would (apparently) duplicated font files be such a big deal? Yes, it would be a minor* waste of time scanning directories multiple times. But this is controlled by the Fontconfig setup anyway; why not leave it up to the user/admin to make sure those “shadow” directories aren’t among the scanned paths? *I say “minor” because the files would already be in the filesystem cache from the first scan. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
