Hmm...

I watched Activity Monitor while this was going on.

During the install of XQuartz, or start it up, I can see the various font* 
tools being run.

But when I start up e.g. Pan, with XQuartz running & waiting, all I see is the 
pan task soaking up the CPU as if the "relink" was going on.  I did not see any 
font* task here.  :?

At any rate, I think these phenomena need to be 'fixed' before 2.7.5 goes 
final.  It is definitely a big-enough change to warrant the wait.

Being curious myself, I'll try to see what's going on with the fontconfig 
project.
