Well, as the problem seems to be fontconfig being very slow scanning the Windows font directory on Vista, the solution is to use our own directory. IIRC the reason that wasn't done was that fontconfig cannot work through physfs, so we need an extra font directory in Warzone's install dir (that would work all the same on all systems (which would save the OSX ifdefs), but doesn't provide any fallbacks). > > 2048 in trunk is the equivalent of 128 or so in 2.2.

Trunk can have different default values. Yes. That's why I think it should have a different config dir as well. _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
