Re: zp_fontconfig_cache_1.sh exit code 2

The exit code is the number of font caches that fontconfig thinks it failed to write.

In fact, I'm pretty sure it actually did successfully write the cache, and the error message is bogus. You can test this by adding the -v flag to the fc-cache invocation in zp_fontconfig_cache_1.sh:

  /usr/libexec/fc-cache-1 -sv

I think you'll find that if you rerun zp_fontconfig_cache_1.sh after it has reported "failed to write cache" on a certain font directory, it will then give a message saying the cache is up to date and doesn't need to be rewritten.

That's what I've found, anyway.
