Hi all, About the win32 issue with xournal hanging at the end of the first text selection item: I have confirmed that this is indeed an issue with creation of the fontconfig library cache. It seems to take several minutes; once the cache is created everything runs smoothly again (perhaps until the next cleanup of temporary files or large-scale installation of new fonts?) The cache file on my system is in c:/Users/(username)/AppData/Local/Temp/fontconfig/cache/
It seems that libgnomecanvas is hardwired to use the pangoft2 background for text rendering, which in turn uses Freetype and Fontconfig. So I think the only thing we can do (short of rewriting to use a different canvas, as in Daniel's gtk3 branch) is warn users about the issue...
