Package: fontconfig Version: 2.11.0-6.3 Severity: normal The font cache needs to be generated per architecture.[1]
fontconfig has a post-install trigger to regenerate the cache, but naturally this will only happen for the binary installed. A user can have libfontconfig for 64bit and 32 bit, but with only one fc-cache binary/trigger only one gets the system cache. Without the system cache i386 applications will lock on first run for ~15 seconds generating a user cache in ~/.cache/fontconfig . Plus it's wasteful to have that per-user. Arch solves this by also providing a special "multilib" fontconfig version that renames the 32bit fc-cache and creates a new trigger.
