https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=764885 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=764885#c0 Summary: remove /var/cache/fonts Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: lnussel@suse.com ReportedBy: lnussel@suse.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: coolo@suse.com, ro@suse.com, werner@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- /var/cache/fonts was used in former times by the tetex package to store generated fonts. Nowadays texlive uses /var/cache/texmf/fonts/ for that purpose. See also bug 543849. According to FHS /var/cache/fonts is optional¹ So if there are no objections I'd remove /var/cache/fonts from the filesystem package completely. I checked Fedora 17 and Ubuntu 11.10, neither has it either.
