I think that the order is the reverse, but that doesn't affect your following

I think I got it.
I thought that fc-cache works on some global directory like something under /var.

So my understanding is that there is no solution for my original problem using f8
ports. Linux fc-cache trick might work, but it might corrupt the native fontconfig
stuff.
