Just out of curiosity, is anyone using the fontconfig way of mapping fonts?
I turned it on one day, but the immediate problem was that no mathtext
worked any more; so I turned it back off. Any mathtext in titles, labels,
etc. just rendered as a much of seemingly random letters.
And I'll tack a second question in here as well; the reason that I was
playing with fontconfig is that the font cache takes a really long time to
build in certain circumstances (I'm having trouble identifying exactly
when)....so I guess the question is...has anyone else seen this? For
example, on my (2008 vintage) mac mini, a complete rebuild of the font cache
takes around 3 seconds, which is fine. On a macbook pro (tested on three
different machines so far), it takes 30 seconds. This makes no sense at all
to me, so any insights welcome :)
I initially thought that perhaps the other users had a ton more fonts than
I, but I don't think so...if I remember correctly, their font cache on the
macbook pro ended up being smaller than mine on the mini.
