<pre>This bug happens with new Xquartz 2.7.10, with fontconfig lib 2.12.1
It seems have some problems when cache the system fonts SFNSDislay-* or
SFNSText-* in the directory /System/Library/Fonts/.
fc-cache will report an invalid cache file found and then delete it. Thus every
time the fontconfig lib will recache it. This behavior results in a big
latency (15s~40s) when launching program such as xterm and xfontsel.
I am sure those SFNS-Series otf fonts have some problem with new version
fontconfig.
but not sure it is due to the font file problem or errors from fontconfig.
Temporary solution is to disable the font path /System/Library/Fonts in
/opt/X11/lib/X11/fontconfig/conf.d/05-OSX-fonts.conf
As it is terribly slowing down the launch of xterm and window manager, I mark
it as a critical problem, though the problem may be easy to solve.</pre>
