Q:

fontconfig doesn't recognize new fonts

Installed fontconfig 2.13.1 on Void Linux, and several fonts through guix (so, not a normal setup). 
Fonts are in ~/.guix-profile/share/fonts. 
I created the following file in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf
<? xml version="1.0"? >
<! DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>

  <dir>/home/daf/.guix-profile/share/fonts</dir>

</fontconfig>

I have installed several monospaced fonts:

However, the only fonts which fontconfig appears to be aware of are some Ubuntu fonts which I installed and have already removed. 

How do I get fontconfig to update it's cache correctly? 

A:

Turns out I needed to run fc-cache -r, which is the "really force cache reconstruction" switch.
