Hello there.

I'm trying fontconfig-2.1.92 and noticed the following messages during
install:

fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi": caching, 397 fonts, 0 dirs

fc-cache: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW": caching, 35 fonts, 0 dirs

while it's understandable 0 fonts in, say,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local which is really empty,
it's strange to see it reports 0 fonts for
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/koi8-1/misc:

> ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/koi8-1/misc/

it happens only against cyrillic fonts, other fonts are found and
cached just fine. Could you advice how to handle this? Thank you in
advance.
