It relies on fontconfig cache (no nightmares) but it rebuilds it the
first time it starts. Users were complaining about missing fonts a
lot and rebuilding the cache usually improves things so we did that.
It's only on the first start so that's not very annoying. Gimp does
the same by the way. We used to have a message that said what
Inkscape was doing but it is gone apparently.
Phew. Well, if you've been following the other threads here on x11-
users, you'll know that the latest release put out an initial solution
to address this issue. It's not perfect, but we're working out the
kinks.
Does Inkscape just rebuild the cache on OSX, or does it do that on all
platforms? I think it would be best if you put in a test like '[[ -d $
{HOME}/.fontconfig ]] || fc-cache'
Does Inkscape use X11's provided fc-cache (ie, does it exec /usr/X11/
bin/fc-cache or just fc-cache)? Perhaps you're calling a fink/
macports installed fc-cache which isn't picking up our config to
include native OSX fonts.
Additionally, I urge you to ask your users to update to the 2.1.4
release that was just released as this might "just work" for them
given the initial font cacheing mechanism.
Please let me know how it works out.
