--- Comment #8 from Samson Yeung <[email protected]> ---
Thank you for you guy's information and effort to remove this bug. I 
have test it on my system - install 4.2.4 and using fc-cache. The 
situation has been improved a lot but the major problem doesn't disappeared.

What 's been improved
Formerly, not only the pop up of the formatting dialogue is slow (>13s), 
the operation inside the dialogue is also sluggish, e.g. sluggishly 
scrolling downward to find an appropriate date format. This situation go 
away now.

What's not been improved
On the contrary of what you claimed, I still have to wait for around 10s 
for the dialogue to pop up.
In the very beginning, I believed one of the factors caused the 
sluggishness Since I use a lot of traditional Chinese fonts (>100), I 
believed they are related. Chinese fonts are different from English one 
by its size, ranging from 5 to 10M per typeface while english ones are 
measured in K. After I unload all the chinese fonts except those default 
fonts installed by ubuntu , the pop-up time of the dialogue box reduced 
to 3s.
Moreover, I don't have this problem for libreoffice in Windows 7 version 
from the very beginning. Therefore I guessed that the way libreoffice 
linux read in the fonts when pop up the formatting dialogue is the major 
cause.  Large file size for chinese typeface means a lot of loading 
works need to be done. But I have no knowledge for the mechanism  
therefore I get no further comment.
In the mean time, I work around the problem with a new excellent feature 
of libreoffice, the Side Panel. But I am still longing for the removal 
of this bug so that libreoffice should become more perfect.
Finally, I think there are not sufficient asian or chinese open source 
programmers therefore any problem concerning these locales is difficult 
to be solved - I have also reported a problem unsolved until today that 
libredraw messed up  pdf containing chinese or 2 byte characters when 
read in. This will not happen in files contained only english or pictures.
Finally I also apologize for I cannot attend the forum discussion til 
the end for I am engaged in other bussiness.

best regards


Samson
