#33752: emacs slow on start + no anti-aliased font anymore -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: eric.lebigot@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.4 Keywords: emacs, x11, fonts | Port: emacs -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment(by duncan.rumbold@…): Replying to [ticket:33752 eric.lebigot@…]:

Today, I updated all my installed ports, and emacs (23) is now very slow on start (a lot of system time spent, not user time) and my usual font (-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-5-*-*-*-*-*-*-*) is not antialiased anymore.

Is there a new package that I should install in order to get the font back to its antialiased form? would this likely solve the new slow start issue?

This might have something to do with the fontconfig upgrade from 2.8.0 to 2.9.0. I've found that all my X applications (awesome, rxvt-unicode, vim) are taking in the order of 10 - 20 seconds to start since this upgrade. However, if I reactivate the old fontconfig instead (2.8.0) then all is OK. You can test this by seeing how long the font cache takes to update with an 'fc-cache -vf'. I'm finding that it doesn't seem to create any cache files, thus fc-cache takes in the order 10 - 20 seconds every time because it doesn't think it's cached anything before. I'm sure that this time corresponds to the new time that applications take to launch.

I'll file a bug report for fontconfig.
