on mac os x 10.11.2, lilypond 2.18.2, plenty nice mac pro plenty ram
Serious slowdown due to font configuration - 30 seconds delay while "FontConfig" is called - happens when you do a lilypond -V for instance. Fixed from command line using /opt/local/bin/fc-cache for each user (root, me, ...) which creates files .lilypond-fonts.cache-2 in home directories But I still have delay problem running lilypond from a web program - I use user:group _www:_www which works fine for everything but this. 30 second delay. (No home directory for _www due to security) Admittedly I'm not expert at font management. Any way to have every user of lilypond on my system use a good font cache? Here's parts of my detailed DEBUG output from web invocation: Log level set to 287 Relocation: is absolute: argv0=/Applications/LilyPondDevel.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond etc etc Setting FONTCONFIG_FILE to /Applications/LilyPondDevel.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts/fonts.conf Setting FONTCONFIG_PATH to /Applications/LilyPondDevel.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../etc/fonts etc. etc. Initializing FontConfig...
