bernhard:
when I add the following boot options

  kmap=qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys pause

to CorePlus, I get a screen full of error Messages right after the (yellow) list of loaded extensions:

just before

 Done.

Boot time configuration completed. Press <Enter> to continue.


can these messages be safely ignored or what should I do to avoid them?

These Messages occur with  version 6.3, but they were also present in previous editions, where I had added the kmap=qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys to a remastered image (together with other boot options, iso= and multivt, see my small  contribution to the wiki). For version 6.3 I burned the original ISO image to CD and tested it by appending the Option manually to the ISO-Linux menu.

Juanito:
You can ignore these messages (generated by fontconfig startup script)

curaga:
@Juanito

Why not redirect them in the script? I don't think the output is needed.

gerald_clark:
Because if for some reason NO fonts are found, you would be clueless.

curaga:
There's fc-list and friends for that, cache output on boot isn't the place IMHO. The cache doesn't prevent newer fonts being found, it merely speeds up accesses.
