------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 21 01:43:01 -0800 2006 ------- Starting the first time OOo fills its own caches (we cache some things about fonts that fontconfig does not), which is why OOo accesses all fonts it finds via fontconfig, the X font path and in its own private directory on the first startup - of course this prolongs the first startup quite some. Then on subsequent startups this procedure can be omitted if the OOo's cache is up to date. The cache is considered up to date if the font directories have not been modified since the last cache update. So it would seem that everything works as designed; unless there is another problem we could close this issue. Regarding startup times: the startup times are bad, yes. Not all of that (unless one has thousands of fonts like you :-) ) is due to font discovery, second startup also profits tremendously from file system caching in that the whole libraries are already in memory and need not be read from disk again. Alas, startup time cannot be fixed easily since there is not one big issue that hinders us; there is symbol resolution involved, too much code is run on startup, there are too many libraries, ... . Sadly there is no silver bullet to make OOo's startup snappy, we can only improve it a bit at a time. This is an ongoing effort. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
