Hi all, On Ubuntu 10.4 with texmacs recently compiled, the first time you try to open a font menu (even accidentally) the system practically hangs. This happens each time texmacs is restarted.
The reason is that for constructing the menu the program tries to "locate" a large number of fonts each with multiple extension variant, and each "locate" takes 8 seconds to complete on my system. Meanwhile it seems texmacs is not giving back the focus or something of the sort: the mouse is moving, other windows are updated, but you cannot switch app (neither using the mouse nor the keyboard). As a result, if I wait for the completion of this exploration, my system is unsuable for 15 plain minutes! Of course I'am not that patient so I switch to the console and kill texmacs... I could solve this problem by comenting out a line in init_texmacs.cpp so that "use_locate" remains false. I don't know what other functionality might be affected by this change, though.
