Just to be sure, I copied files into that directory successfully. I rebooted to safe mode and ran "rm -rf /var/cache/fontconfig" (successfully, with no errors). Still at the command window with nothing else running, I ran "fc-cache --really-force --verbose" (sorry for the long lines): /usr/share/fonts: skipping, no such directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: failed to write cache caching, 0 fonts, 6 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi: failed to write cache caching, 398 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF: failed to write cache caching, 47 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1: failed to write cache caching, 29 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings: failed to write cache caching, 0 fonts, 1 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large: failed to write cache caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc: failed to write cache caching, 55 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util: failed to write cache caching, 0 fonts, 0 dirs /home/zjohnson/.fonts: skipping, no such directory /var/cache/fontconfig: cleaning cache directory /home/zjohnson/.fontconfig: not cleaning unwritable cache directory fc-cache: failed fc-cache had created /var/cache/fontconfig, owned and writeable (0755) by me (again verified by copying files into the directory successfully). It sure seems like slow XFT is a symptom of some other underlying problem; what else can I do to diagnose? -Zak -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
