Are you sure you removed *all* the cache files? Once I did this it indexed all 202M of fonts I have installed without issue.
I'm thinking you missed a font cache file...give it another shot.
Do this "find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts -print | grep cache"
Ben, Have been watching this thread with great interest as I have now downloaded all of the files and am ready to do the "upgrade" In anticipation of trouble I did your suggestion of "find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts -print | grep cache" to know what files I must deal with. I got Nothing, no font caches. Did I do something wrong? Am afraid to proceed without that info. I cd'd into */fonts and I find about a dozen directories in there containing all of the fonts. Surely these are not the ones to be deleted, are they? Also have a /var/cache/fonts directory but that is empty.
This should show you all of them..delete every single one of them.
