Weird thing, but fonts in ~/.fonts don't require fc-cache. fontconfig picks them up, and uses them without a problem. However, I use x11-fonts/webfonts for my Windows fonts, and my TrueType directory holds all my downloaded TrueType fonts. >=20 > i would recommend also running fc-cache -v -f again after doing that=20 > and delete you ~/.fonts.cache-1 before try to start gnome/gmd2. fc-cache is definitely needed for system fonts (i.e. fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts [even for root]).
