What happens is a file locking issue for the fontconfig cache - see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782676#c14 ff for more details. The new cache file is actually created, but it never replaces the old one, and so this process is repeated on every start. Even when intervening manually, anything which causes a regeneration of the cache may run into the same issue and start that annoying cycle anew. > I did the suggestion, but it only worked the second time I opened gimp. all > the times > after (and still) it takes 50 seconds or more to search for fonts. Has anyone > come up with a permanent fix for this problem? A permanent fix is to use a more recent version of the fontconfig library, and as mentioned in that bug report, this is something aimed for in a 2.8.24 release (or actually, the installer package created from that). The current development release for the Windows platforms, 2.9.6, uses the recent fontconfig and startup behavior seems to consistently avoid that issue, so I'm confident that's fixed for good. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
