#33769: fontconfig 2.9.0 slows down program start, etc. -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: eric.lebigot@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.4 Keywords: | Port: fontconfig -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment(by duncan.rumbold@…): I can also confirm that 2.9.0 + the latest patch posted here brings the times back to that of 2.8.0, and that an fc-cache -v shows that cache files don't need to be recreated once they already have been. This seems to be the same behaviour as 2.9.0 without any patches at all. I don't know if this is of interest but on my system, font cache files with 2.8.0 have filenames such as: /opt/local/var/cache/fontconfig/0030f3da31c070a8906b7c5926cc3913-x86-64.cache-3 while 2.9.0 with either no patches or the latest one above (i.e. the variations of 2.9.0 that 'work') creates files such as: /opt/local/var/cache/fontconfig/0030f3da31c070a8906b7c5926cc3913-le64.cache-3 2.9.0 with the two default patches (that cause the problem) doesn't generate such files, but did leave a trace of something: /opt/local/var/cache/fontconfig-le64d8.cache-3 It's as if 2.9.0 with the default patches has missed out a directory separator and the actual cache filename. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33769#comment:13> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
