I don't know about infinite loop, but you'll see libfontconfig iterating
through all the fonts in all the directories when it thinks its font
caches are out of date. On Solarish systems, we have an SMF service
svc:/application/font/fc-cache to ensure the caches are up-to-date at
system boot and when IPS packages with fonts are installed, so it would
be good to check that's running and not reporting any errors in the SMF
logs for it.
For what I see from the 2483 time-sliderd truss output, it does the
following for each /etc/X11/fontpath.d/*/ directory:
1) with a convoluted procedure, produce a lock file .uuid inside
that directory
2) Then use utimensat to update access and modification times of
that directory *********
3) Open RDONLY *.cache-n file in /var/cache/fontconfig/
/export/home/predrag_zecevic/.cache/fontconfig/
/export/home/predrag_zecevic/.fontconfig/
(there are none)
4) Do the same RDWR (there are still none)
5) fstat all .pcf files and fonts.dir and files mentioned therein
in the fontpath.d dir and mmap them
6) do something (not seen in truss) and unmap them
7) remove the .uuid file
8) repeat from 1)
Could it be that the change of the modification time (2) from 2483
triggers the reread by 2484 (mate-settings-daemon) ?
Hi,
many thanks fo looking at truss files!
No idea modification time changes triggers more actions (could it be)...
New MATE has (obviously) introduced more checks/processes/etc.
....
So, font cache fails to "recognize" fonts, and just keeps system busy
with creating cache, over and over.
How to solve that situation?
......
Would the last two commits applyto your case?

ff5b49be is exactly what I've suspected.
