Font not recognized

Since an update I noticed that fc-list no longer recognizes gohu font with size 14 even though the pcf.gz files are in /usr/share/fonts/misc next to gohu font size 11.

$ ls /usr/share/fonts/misc | grep gohu   
gohufont-11b.pcf.gz
gohufont-11.pcf.gz
gohufont-14b.pcf.gz
gohufont-14.pcf.gz
gohufont-uni-11b.pcf.gz
gohufont-uni-11.pcf.gz
gohufont-uni-14b.pcf.gz
gohufont-uni-14.pcf.gz

$ fc-cache -fv | grep misc
/usr/share/fonts/misc: caching, new cache contents: 123 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/misc: skipping, looped directory detected

$ fc-list | grep gohu                                                    
/usr/share/fonts/misc/gohufont-uni-11.pcf.gz: Gohu GohuFont:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/misc/gohufont-uni-11b.pcf.gz: Gohu GohuFont:style=Bold

However with xlsfonts all the sizes are detected.

$ xlsfonts | grep gohu 
-gohu-gohufont-bold-r-normal--0-0-100-100-c-0-iso10646-1
-gohu-gohufont-bold-r-normal--0-0-100-100-c-0-iso8859-1
-gohu-gohufont-bold-r-normal--11-80-100-100-c-60-iso10646-1
-gohu-gohufont-bold-r-normal--11-80-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1
-gohu-gohufont-bold-r-normal--14-100-100-100-c-80-iso10646-1
-gohu-gohufont-bold-r-normal--14-100-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1
-gohu-gohufont-medium-r-normal--0-0-100-100-c-0-iso10646-1
-gohu-gohufont-medium-r-normal--0-0-100-100-c-0-iso8859-1
-gohu-gohufont-medium-r-normal--11-80-100-100-c-60-iso10646-1
-gohu-gohufont-medium-r-normal--11-80-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1
-gohu-gohufont-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-c-80-iso10646-1
-gohu-gohufont-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1

I've tried to downgrade font related packages and reinstall gohu font both with the aur package and manually with no success.

Any idea?

Thanks for the suggestion. Really forcing fc-cache did not resolve it.
