Hi, In the recent snapshots for i386, amd64 and may be other arches xbase42.tg now includes a copy of /var/cache/fontconfig, the font cache managed by fontconfig. The goal of this change is to avoid the (quite long) rebuild of the font cache when the fonts themselve are updated (by installing xfont42.tgz), which is noticeable in xdm's startup time, not that xdm uses fontconfig/Xft fonts. If someone encounters problems with this, or still sees long font-cache rebuilds after upgrading to a snapshot, please report it to me. -- Matthieu Herrb
