That 'shouldn't' happen either -- the first application should place all of the relevant font informatio in ~/.fonts.cache-1 and application startup time should get back to normal immediately. If not, then there's still a bug in fontconfig. > Seems like the fontconfig cache was > simply not usable any more. *feels a bit like a idiot* > But nevertheless some package update corrupted/invalidated the font > config cache and missed to regenerate it, this should not happen,right? Yes, any debian package which installs fonts should re-run fc-cache. Of course, this places a dependency on every font package, and I'm not sure we can insist on that. > > Sadly i cannot say which package is it... Looking through the scripts for the packages you have installed to locate one which touches font directories and which doesn't call fc-cache would probably identify it reasonably quickly. Thanks for you help, -keith
