Actually, the issue may happen even on i386 because: - x86 became le32d4 and cache version bump in 2.8.0 per http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/?id=1845f31 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/?id=1f4e6fe - cache version bump in 2.11.0 per http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/?id=62b7d76 while - x11-fonts/linux-f10-fontconfig is at 2.6.0 - x11-fonts/linux-c6-fontconfig is at 2.8.0 - x11-fonts/fontconfig is at 2.11.0 (latest is 2.11.1) Patch to Keywords/fc.ucl assumes that linux-[c6,f10]-fontconfig is installed on every system, else the executables will not be found. Have you tested what happens if this patch is present on systems lacking linux- fontconfig packages? Created attachment 149402 [details]
x11-fonts/noto log
Nothing would happen. What else do you expect from the following construct?
nonexistent 2>/dev/null || true
.ttf and .otf can be used directly without fontconfig (e.g. by games or video players). And mkfontscale is a compat for apps that don't know about pango, fontconfig or freetype2. @fc and @fcfontsdir are similar to @desktop-file-utils and @shared-mime-info where an optional dependency becomes mandatory for everyone.

x11-fonts/linux-f10-fontconfig log
Not sure how to avoid the following without trampling over cache from x11-fonts/fontconfig.
====>> Files or directories left over:
@dir var/cache/fontconfig

Created attachment 149304 [details] incomplete fix According fonts-conf(5) fontconfig uses cache in the form of <hash value>-<architecture>.cache-<version>. And fc-cache(1) explicitly notes that for every architecture a separate run is required. However, as x11-fonts/linux-*-fontconfig tries to use native fontconfig it completely ignores/predates architecture distinction in cache filenames. Steps to reproduce: 1. install www/linux-firefox (or any port using linux-*-fontconfig) 2. install x11-fonts/noto (or any port invoking fc-cache) 3. start linux-firefox then quit it 4. notice ~/.cache/fontconfig or ~/.fontconfig now has files with the same hash as /var/db/fontconfig but for different architecture Those directories may contain files: *-x86.cache-2 (linux-f10- i386) *-le32d4.cache-3 (linux-c6- i386) *-le64.cache-4 (native amd64) In some cases ~/.cache expansion may be broken and `fontconfig' directory would appear directly under $HOME. x11@ is CC'd in case multilib infra ever materializes and they (not gnome@) own Keywords/fc*ucl, so may help un-hardcode /compat/linux from the patch.
