By the way, another option to remove cache files in
/var/cache/fontconfig for directories which don't exist anymore would
be nice. Deleting such cache files always is probably not a good idea
because directories might be temporarily unavailable (e.g. nfs
mounts). But having an option to clean up old junk in
/var/cache/fontconfig without having to delete everything there would
be nice.
