You can run xftcache in the directories holding those fonts to build XftCache files; that's a bit more efficient at startup time than the automatic ~/.xftcache file Xft builds for missing fonts. You can make sure the cache is working by running: $ export XFT_DEBUG=128 $ xterm -fa mono-14 If this generates any output, you've got caching enabled. I've done some performance analysis with several thousand fonts installed and haven't found any significant problems, once I got the name cache working. But, Xft does perform a best-match each time a font is requested, that is currently done by comparing against every available font. I'd like to avoid replacing that with a smarter search; such code is likely to be difficult to get working correctly.
