In looking at this code, it's reading every directory in the font hierarchy and stat'ing every file. That's a lot of what the font caches are supposed to avoid; all of those syscalls at application startup. I'm trying to figure out what we're attempting here; the old cache code would already infinite loop if the font directories had circular symlinks, so this isn't necessary from a robustness perspective. If the only thing the code is for is to eliminate duplicate caches for the same directory reached by multiple paths, then I don't think that's necessary either; again, the old code would have loaded the caches twice in that case. I think we can just eliminate the path normalization entirely. Arguments? -- keith.packard@xxxxxxxxx
