The idea behind the previous version was that the linux code doesn't  
create it's own cache (to not have to run the linux fc-cache on each  
change in the fonts directories) but to use the FreeBSD cache via  
fall-through. This only works when the linux fontconfig and the  
FreeBSD fontconfig are compatible enough in terms of cache directory  
file format. I remember to have updated the linux fontconfig port with  
a own hand-rolled linux-version of fontconfig in the past as the  
linux_base at that time didn't had a compatible enough fontconfig  
version (but I don't remember if the config file was incompatible or  
the cache...).

Could it be that a simple ln of the linux /var/db/fontconfig to the  
FreeBSD location would solve this issue without the need to run the  
linux fc-cache on each font directory change?

Bye,
Alexander.
