[Xquartz-dev] The 'official' 2.7.5 still acts the same as _rc3 and _rc4 here.

[Martin Otte]

These .TMP files are probably worthless to fontconfig. Every time you try to start an application that is linked to fontconfig, your app will hang until fontconfig tries to rebuild the font caches again (and fails).

You can have fc-cache operate on just one directory by doing something like:

/opt/X11/bin/fc-cache -v /System/Library/Fonts

or

/opt/X11/bin/fc-cache -v /opt/X11/share/fonts

Try this on some of the font directories that failed and see if you get a different result when you operate on just one directory. It looks like you have 480 separate directories with fonts; maybe there is something wrong with one of these directories that fontconfig doesn't like.

Their names have been repeated twelve times or such, only the last six characters (upper and lower case, and numerals too!) after the expression were different.
