Not relevant to the immediate problem, but the de-install left three files behind: LilyPond/usr/bin/lily-pad-unicode.exe LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/dvips/ps/lilyponddefs.ps LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/dvips/ps/music-drawing-routines.ps as well as the three files in the font cache. I left these untouched and re-installed: The first run accessed just the two smaller files in the font cache, but still completed in less than 5 secs. Subsequent runs less than 3 secs on trivial files. > * Can you see what happens if you deinstall (as > admin) and install (without admin rights) again? Exactly the same - all short compile times. I de-installed again, this time deleting the font cache, and re-installed without admin rights. Now the first run takes c 1 min while it rebuilds the font cache, but subsequent runs are the usual 3 sec. The font cache was rebuilt in exactly the same place. Tried running as a different user, one without any priviledges and no admin rights. As expected, the first run took 50 secs to build the cache for this user - in [user]/.lilypond-fonts.cache-2 - but subsequent runs took the usual 3 secs. It seems my Vista runs LilyPond 2.11.42 perfectly. I can't make it run slowly. So we need to find a user with the problem to make any further progress. Perhaps worth mentioning - my OS is Vista Home Premium, fully patched up to today. Is it possible to find out the differences between the three versions of libfontconfig-1.dll? Might this may have been upgraded for Vista, since the later version fails on XP but works fine on Vista, as the above demonstrates? > Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Trevor D _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
