Hi, This might not be news to everyone but I've just built the latest fontconfig snapshot which includes a performance fix described here - http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/1495 The increase in kde/app startup is significant so I thought it might be worth mentioning.
That's nice to hear... may I ask what "significant" means to you... :-) best regards, Yves
Here's how I built it (probably not the best way - eg. version number breaks)... apt-get build-dep fontconfig apt-get source fontconfig wget http://www.fontconfig.org/release/fontconfig-2.3.91.tar.gz tar -xzf fontconfig-2.3.91.tar.gz cp -a fontconfig-2.3.2/debian fontconfig-2.3.91/ cd fontconfig-2.3.91/ ./debian/rules build ./debian/rules binary # probably worth stopping kdm at this point dpkg -i fontconfig_2.3.2-1_i386.deb dpkg -i libfontconfig1_2.3.2-1_i386.deb Of course the snapshot may be unstable in other ways so be careful.... :-)
