1. Does this index both the TL fonts *and* those in C:\fonts (or
wherever Windows keeps its own fonts, I forget these days), so that both
sets are available to XeLaTeX users?

2. Am I right in assuming that the reason TL uses fc-cache is so that
the code base can remain the same as on the other TL platforms; ie it
doesn't need additional code to call on Windows' own cache?

3. So with Debian texlive-full, the user must create the 09-texlive.conf
file themselves? (this is what I have been recommending to date).
I think I have most else of what I need :-)
