This is an update to the latest upstream release.  The Windows font
directory has been removed from the default fonts path due to issues
caused by stale caches; a separate package to add it to the path, as
well as keep the cache current automatically, should be available soon.

You also removed /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts,
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype,
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype, and
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1.  Was that intentional?

Yes, because it seems that they would also have this issue because nothing in the providing packages updates the cache. (cygport only generates fontconfig postinstall scripts for /usr/share/fonts.)
