Running the linux fc-config is not a clean solution, because it will  
not be re-run when a new font is installed. Unfortunately I have no  
better idea... at least for F10 we would have the good behavior. In  
the light of the upcomming 8.0 release, I would say go ahead with this  
idea.

I don't know if we should extend the fc-cache running in the font  
ports to also run the linux one if present or not. This is maybe  
something to discuss after 8.0-RELEASE is out the door.

Bye,
Alexander.
