Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: fontconfig 2.5.0 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Srirama Sharma 1.3 Date of This Document: 22 February, 2008 4. Technical Description This case is for upgrading fontconfig package from version 2.3.2 to 2.5.0. The fontconfig package includes a library and a set of tools which is used for sharing and creating font configuration file format which is used by various desktop applications. Please see LSARC/2003/273 for more information on fontconfig. The new fontconfig 2.5.0 version includes below changes : 1. Inclusion of a new CLI 'fc-cat' : 'fc-cat' is a command line utility which comes as part of the new fontconfig-2.5.0 tarball. This utility 'fc-cat' is used to display the font information from specified font cache files or related to a particular font directory in ASCII format. 2. Few architectural changes to libfontconfig and fc-cache CLI : Previously with fontconfig 2.3.2, the font cache files were getting created under the directory where the fonts are installed (i.e mostly under '/usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/' dir) Now with the new fontconfig 2.5.0, these font cache files will be placed under '/var/cache/fontconfig' directory which also helps fontconfig to work correctly in sparse zones where /usr is unwritable. 3. Some of the sections in fonts.conf has now been moved to multiple configuration files. These configuration files are installed under '/etc/fonts/conf.avail' directory and then symlinked to '/etc/fonts/conf.d'. Fontconfig scans this directory, loading all files of the form '[0-9][0-9]*.conf'.

Yay!  I regularly check my systems for 'stray' files in package-
delivered directories, and these cache files have long been a false
positive.

Will the upgrade process scrub away the now-unnecessary cache files in
/usr?
No. Currently  there is no default mechanism to remove the old 'fonts.cache-1' files which were getting created in the respective font dirs located under '/usr'.

So if a user upgrades a machine with the new fontconfig (2.5.0) packages, he would still see old obsolete cache files in the font dirs along with the new cache files located under '/var/cache/fontconfig'.

Thanks,
Srirama
