mkstemp! does not generate a string. It overwrites an existing string in-place, and that's bad news for a literal string. At any rate, you don't write, as the comment states, in a "tmp directory" but rather in the current directory. If you want a tmp directory, you need to add it to the path. And the .uuid file thing is a real problem with some versions of fontconfig, so I lean to reverting the patch for now. -- David Kastrup
