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.

fc-cache is definitely needed for system fonts (i.e. fonts in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts [even for root]).
