After discussion on #mplayerdev, Sherpya brought light to me on the fontconfig cache always regenerating problem. Apparently, fontconfig 2.6.0 has a mode to adjust for Daylight Savings Time but it wasn’t completely implemented but enabled nontheless, making it think the cache is always 1 hour older than it really is. I never noticed the specific problem before since the region I live has no DST/Summer Time, and would probably never figure out on my own :P

I have the patch to fix it already, but I won’t be able to release a new build today; probably tomorrow or the day after.
