Hi, Pascal, There’s no way to disable the cache as PDFBox needs to examine each font on the system before it can perform font substitution. However, the cache should be saved to disk but it if you’re seeing that message each time you’re running PDFBox then it sounds like either the cache write has failed or you’re running in an ephemeral environment, such as a Docker container. Are either of these likely to be true?
Just to provide a little more detail: the cache contains metadata for every font on the system and is persisted to disk precisely because it’s too slow for PDFBox to examine every system font every time its initialised. If the cache is not persisted, you pay that full time cost each time you use PDFBox. — John > On 20 Oct 2015, at 06:49, Pascal Burkhardt <pascalburkha...@mail.de> wrote: > > Hi, > > i upgrade from 1.8.10 to 2.0.0-RC1. > > When i start to create a pdf with pdfbox 2.0.0-RC1 now the log-message > appears: "WARNING: Building font cache, this may take a while".
