Thank you! One of the solutions there--deleting everything in
~/.cache/fontconfig/--seemed to restore my system's ability to see manually
installed fonts without having to re-run 'fc-cache' again. The explanations
described there make sense, too: while I can't be completely sure of the actual
sequence of events, I usually run 'fc-cache -fsv' after manually installing
fonts but I did remember slipping up once a while back and only using the '-fv'
flags.
Given that I'm using the same version of fontconfig that supposedly fixed the
problem, I suppose I should add a comment to that bug report that the issue
still exists in some form.
