[Fontconfig] fc-cache and new fonts (and docs)

[Jeremy C. Reed]

Hello fontconfig community:

I help maintain packages for the pkgsrc collection [1].

At this time whenever fontconfig is installed a message is displayed
suggesting that fc-cache to be ran.

Our fontconfig package fontconfig-2.2.1nb3 doesn't have any fc-cache
documentation.

We are getting ready to have fc-cache run automatically when it is
installed.

Also our "font" packages use a common font framework.

Should we make it so whenever a font package is added or removed,
fc-cache should be ran?

Can fc-cache be ran just to update for that single font or should it
rebuild for all fonts?

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

What do other package systems do for their fc-cache/fontconfig usage? (Do
they automate it?)

Please carbon-copy on replies.

Thank you.
