If they aren't then I don't know where the data is!
They are but problaby from a previous version. Could you tell by the timestamps? Are they regenerated if you remove them and rerun LilyPond? The problem is that fontconfig keeps building the database over and over, leading to minutes of delay on every run - are you seeing that too? This suggests that the database files are not written, probably due to permission issues. > The only other 'fontconfig' directory is: > > c:\Program Files\Lilypond\usr\var\cache\fontconfig > > and that is empty. that is strange: they should be called .fontconfig , not fontconfig (note leading period).
