I believe it's the other way around: applications on Mac should not use fontconfig ;), but when they do (most of them being ported from linux), they cannot rely on fontconfig's presence on the system.
It's more or less the same situation on windows. When you launch VLC, MPlayer, gnuplot/wxt or XeTeX after a long time, it spends the first minute refreshing font cache.
Right, I think fontconfig should turn itself into a warper around native system font services on such systems and not manage a cache on its own, which is better than porting every fontconfig using application. OT anyway. Regards, Khaled
