No, please don't bother. I just thought this info might help #975. 

I can probably get by with just the 2.12.3 stable. 
Although I did leave a vertically tight single sheet at 2.10 recently, 
deciding to defer its update to 2.14; just too much hassle. 
And no regression testing of course. 


I don't know where the cache is supposed be. 
I found two candidates:

and

Moving these into a newly created folder at the same level had no effect. 
No replacement appeared, so these paths are probably no longer relevant. 
I use a batch file for the renaming switch, 
so it would be easy for me to automate any cache deletion or whatever. 


Since renaming still works for Trevor, I was wondering if my problem might 
be due to conflicts with other programs doing their own fontconfig things.
