Re: Bug: font caching on OS X w/ networked home folders

[Jacob Rundall]

Thanks.  I searched both the client and the server to see if any font cache
files were being created elsewhere and this doesn't seem to be the case.  I
do have the following the client's system.log file however:

Feb  2 11:26:29 camil15 kernel[0]: encodings.dir/rsrc: file access by
'/rsrc' was deprecated in 10.4
Feb  2 11:26:29 camil15 kernel[0]: fonts.dir/rsrc: file access by '/rsrc'
was deprecated in 10.4
Feb  2 11:26:29 camil15 kernel[0]: fonts.list/rsrc: file access by '/rsrc'
was deprecated in 10.4
Feb  2 11:26:29 camil15 kernel[0]: fonts.scale/rsrc: file access by '/rsrc'
was deprecated in 10.4
Feb  2 11:27:02 camil15 kernel[0]: Helvetica LT MM/rsrc: file access by
'/rsrc' was deprecated in 10.4
Feb  2 11:27:02 camil15 kernel[0]: Keyboard.dfont/rsrc: file access by
'/rsrc' was deprecated in 10.4
Feb  2 11:27:02 camil15 kernel[0]: LastResort.dfont/rsrc: file access by

Feb  2 11:27:02 camil15 kernel[0]: fonts.dir/rsrc: file access by '/rsrc'
was deprecated in 10.4
Feb  2 11:27:02 camil15 kernel[0]: fonts.list/rsrc: file access by '/rsrc'
was deprecated in 10.4
Feb  2 11:27:02 camil15 kernel[0]: fonts.scale/rsrc: file access by '/rsrc'
was deprecated in 10.4

 I suspect this does in fact indicate that fontconfig is failing, right?
