I think I had that issue with a fresh install within the last year and
based on advice in IRC (thanks nckx!) ran 'fc-cache -fv'.

For what it's worth, I believe Debian's packaging tools (in this case,
Debhelper) detect changes to the font directories and add a font
update hook to the package installation scripts. Since we do not have
such scripts—and I am with Ludo' that it's probably a feature worth
preserving—maybe our package manager could run the hook?

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
