Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

5.2.1 /var/cache/fonts : Locally-generated fonts

The directory /var/cache/fonts should be used to store any dynamically-created fonts. In particular, all of the fonts which are automatically generated by mktexpk should be located in appropriately-named subdirectories of /var/cache/fonts.

Note: this standard does not currently incorporate the TeX Directory Structure (a document that describes the layout TeX files and directories), but it may be useful reading. It is located at ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex/.

Other dynamically created fonts may also be placed in this tree, under appropriately-named subdirectories of /var/cache/fonts.
