| sakrecoer | anyone has problems with font-manager taking up to 20 minutes of querying installed fonts? | 15:47 |
|---|---|---|
| sakrecoer | both my machines have this issue, on the faster one, it takes "only" 15 minutes... no extra fonts installed yet... | 15:47 |
| sakrecoer | bug #1579536 | 16:09 |
| ubottu | bug 1579536 in font-manager (Ubuntu) ""Query of installed files" process on start-up takes abnormaly long (~20minutes)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1579536 | 16:09 |
| sakrecoer | oh well... it has been at the same version number since trusty. xD "uploaded on 2012-05-10" | 16:13 |
| sakrecoer | hm.. searching for "font" and "fonts" in gnome software gives me no results | 16:18 |

| ubottu | Debian bug 796817 in font-manager "font-manager: version 0.7.2 is available" [Important,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/796817 | 16:19 |
| sakrecoer | \o/ you are such an awesome all seeing spider krytarik :) | 16:22 |
| sakrecoer | hehe 24 Aug 2015... :'( | 16:23 |
| sakrecoer | krytarik: should i just add the link to the debian bug in the comments, or is there any better way do do it? | 16:34 |
| sakrecoer | there doesn't seem to be many alternatives for font management out there. i guess it sadly speaks loads of how (un)common it is with people working with typography in linux... | 16:36 |
| sakrecoer | that was oddly formulated, i mean, there can't be much demand for a fontmanager :| | 16:38 |
| krytarik | sakrecoer: Yeah, since the two aren't necessarily related, just linking to it in a comment with a reference that it's old would be appropriate. | 16:41 |
| sakrecoer | thank you krytarik ! :) | 16:42 |
| sakrecoer | wow!!! font-manager 0.7.3 is deliciously super cool! | 18:21 |
| sakrecoer | it has incredbily well thought sorting capacity. it actualy sorted the full ubuntu studio font collection comprehensibly in just a few seconds like a good robot | 18:22 |
| sakrecoer | heh... we have 870 fonts with "unkown licensing" :/ | 18:23 |
| sakrecoer | it doesn't seem to like CFF fonts very much. | 18:36 |
| DalekSec | Hah, and here I was thinking that I'm not touching the new font-manager, stupid CSDs. | 18:53 |
| autumna | sakrecoer: I had the same issue with font-manager! it is a one time thing but very annoying | 19:16 |
| autumna | sakrecoer: krytarik: and there is specimen on the repos but it isn't as good | 19:17 |
| sakrecoer | autumna: one time? it happens to me on each start up.. and repeats everytime i install a font | 20:15 |
| autumna | it happened to me on first launch, then first time I did something that required it to rescan. After that it did quicker rescans on launch which takes a few seconds but not that much | 20:15 |
| autumna | I haven't tried installing a new font through | 20:16 |
| sakrecoer | ok, maybe i did something that required rescan each time :) anyways, i think most people would never wait that long. i didn't. i forgot about it, and when i came back it worked :D | 20:52 |
| sakrecoer | but i forgot about it the 5th time i tried. after having deleted ~/.fonts and ~/.cache/forgotthename and stuff like that | 20:53 |
| sakrecoer | DalekSec: what are CSDs? :D | 20:54 |
| autumna | sakrecoer: no I was also worried about it a lot and actually did end up looking for alternatives | 21:24 |
| autumna | sakrecoer: does the new version still have the same issue? | 21:25 |
