On executing "fc-cache -v" I'm a bit wondering about some of the output: - I'm seeing many things being skipped like "/usr/share/fonts: skipping, existing cache is valid: 0 fonts, 3 dirs" but I'm wondering what has actually been skipped. - Even on repeated executions I'm seeing the same directories getting cleaned like "/home/sworddragon/.cache/fontconfig: cleaning cache directory". Since something can be skipped as sayed above I'm wondering if the directories are really cleaned and if not maybe they should also say that they skip the cleaning as nothing would be to do.

Skipping updating caches - what you are going to do with fc-cache is to update caches. so it is obvious thing, isn't it? > - Even on repeated executions I'm seeing the same directories getting > cleaned like "/home/sworddragon/.cache/fontconfig: cleaning cache > directory".

That makes sense. let me take a look how it can be improved.

Updating caches with fc-cache includes different subtasks like the cleaning process of old caches. Maybe that makes it not so super obvious for every user. Or maybe the summerly temperatures here are already getting just too high.
