That's the very first thing I did when I installed the Luxi Mono fonts
(which are the ones selected in NEdit):

# fc-cache
# mkfontscale
# mkfontdir

from the directory in which the fonts were found. The fonts properly
showed in the fonts.scale and fonts.dir files in that directory.

I have repeated that procedure (for all fonts installed) now, just in
case. But it didn't change a yota in NEdit current behavior on the
laptop.
