--- Comment #2 from Masamichi Hosoda <trueroad at trueroad.jp> ---
Would you merge my patch?
This issue is very major and serious to use fontconfig on Windows.

Certainly, my patch is not perfect.
However, the current fontconfig always fails to update the cache.
With my patch, fontconfig almost succeeds to update the cache.
It obviously improves the issue, in my humble opinion.


W32TeX (a TeX binary distribution for Windows) has applied my patch.

http://w32tex.org/ChangeLog
has the following description.

In W32TeX, the issue has been resolved, and problems caused by the patch have
not raised.
