At the top of the ~/.fonts folder there is a small file .uuid, and it opens in a text editor, displaying what looks like a uuid code. More importantly, I cannot delete it; that is, if I delete the file it instantly reappears. And when it reappears the uuid code is different. Furthermore, there is also a .uuid file in /usr/share/fonts, and another one in each of its subfolders. And deleting any of them produces a new one in a few seconds, always with a new uuid code. WTH?
