I have Qt 3.1.2 built with fontconfig-2.1.92. I have not run fc-cache
and have no ~/.fonts.conf file.

$ rm .fonts.cache-1
$ FC_DEBUG=20 qtconfig >/tmp/a
$ FC_DEBUG=20 qtconfig >/tmp/b

Should I expect /tmp/a and /tmp/b to be the same? I ran a diff against
the two and on Solaris/IRIX, Helvetica-Oblique is selected on the
first run and Helvetica is selected on the second run. Why?
