I get the same type of message for all my font directories when I run
"fc-cache -v", but don't get the "failed to write cache" error.
What are the permissions of /var/cache/fontconfig?
$ ls -ld /var/cache/fontconfig/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-10-16 09:43 /var/cache/fontconfig/
$ lsattr -d /var/cache/fontconfig/
------------------ /var/cache/fontconfig/
Does this directory contain any files with names like
<long hex string>-x86.cache-2? If yes, do these files have reasonable
timestamps (i.e. not in the future)?
Can you do things like "touch /var/cache/fontconfig/testfile" as root?
