This access is probably made by font thumbnailer, which can disabled if 
desired[1].

My intuition says it shouldn't be allowed access to that directory, but I also suspect that maybe it just isn't very intelligent and tries to map everything. So I'm also posting this in case it's something that could be fixed in tumbler.
