>From tex-common 0.26, around July 2006 (!!!!) * New font cache handling The font cache handling has been reworked completely. By default, a separate font cache is kept for each user. If you want to re-enable site-wide caching, see the instructions in README.Debian. On systems where $HOME is not writable, fonts will be temporarily cached in /tmp/texfonts. I guess we can close this bug definitely.
