I can not reproduce this anymore. can you? Yes, I can still reproduce it. I guess the reason why you cannot reproduce it is that you have a cache file for ~/.fonts in /var/cache/fontconfig. Such a cache file for ~mfabian/.fonts is generated when user mfabian calls "fc-cache -v" via sudo. When the cache file in /var/cache/fontconfig is there, the messages disappear. You can make them appear again by touching ~/.fonts. After touching ~/.fonts, the first "fc-cache -v ~/.fonts" should make the messages disappear. But the messages stay, no matter how often you call "fc-cache -v ~/.fonts" as user. Only calling "sudo fc-cache -v ~/.fonts" makes the message go away. You have to use sudo instead of really becoming root because if you are really root, $HOME is set to /root. We have disabled this warning for the release, i.e. this bug is not important anymore → FIXED. |
