[Fontconfig-bugs] [Bug 106618] Relocated caches not quite working

--- Comment #3 from Stephan Bergmann <sbergman at redhat.com> ---
My naive understanding is that a new "mode" has been implemented in fontconfig
that maps between certain internal ("cached") pathnames and their
external/client-visible counterparts.  And that the flatpak infrastructure
somehow makes sure that a fontconfig instance run in the flatpak sandbox
operates in that mode.

Then, I wonder why a new fontconfig API would be needed that apps like
LibreOffice would need to adapt to.  Couldn't
FcPatternGetString(...,FC_FILE,...) be modified to do any necessary pathname
mapping when fontconfig is in that special mode?
