Yeah. I've noticed extreme slowdowns with an NFS-mounted font directory too (10+ seconds to start each fontconfig user after the NFS attribute cache expires) -- fontconfig's statting the whole thing every time, which is wholly pointless because will never be updated without running fc-cache on all NFS-connected machines. And that directory has thousands of fonts in it... Having an optional off-by-default way to quiesce this revalidation would be nice. (I was going to just implement it in an ugly local hack, but then this came up... so clearly this sort of thing not affecting just me.) -- NULL && (void) _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
