Hi Praedor,
Wine should only build fonts upon running the first aplication, after
initially installing or configuring Wine for the first time, or in the
first new directory. It is actually building the registry based on your
system fonts.
In other words, if you just installed wine, and you created a new
directory, and you launched wine app.exe, it will do this (takes a long
time, huh?)
So, if it KEEPS doing this everytime, you may not have something set right
in your wine config file. Try looking at this section from my config
file:
;These are all booleans. Y/y/T/t/1 are true, N/n/F/f/0 are false.
;Defaults are read all, write to Home
; Global registries (stored in /etc)
"LoadGlobalRegistryFiles" = "Y"
; Home registries (stored in ~user/.wine/)
"LoadHomeRegistryFiles" = "Y"
; Load Windows registries from the Windows directory
"LoadWindowsRegistryFiles" = "Y"
; TRY to write all changes to home registries
"WritetoHomeRegistryFiles" = "Y"
; Registry periodic save timeout in seconds
; PeriodicSave=600
; Save only modified keys
"SaveOnlyUpdatedKeys" = "Y"
Make sure you say "Yes" to these, as what may be happening is that wine
has to rebuild the registry every time you launch. Other than that, I
don't know.
