Hello, currently !NetSurf stores its font cache in Wimp$Scrap. When Wimp$Scrap is copied to a RAMDisc on boot this might lead to problems, because naturally the content of Wimp$Scrap is not copied back to disk when the system is shut down. Hence RUfl_Cache would be recreated on every first start after boot. IMHO a file that should be kept permanently should not be put in the Scrap-folder.
We just discussed this issue during a RISC OS user meeting, and a better approach seems to be to place RUfl_Cache in <Choices$Write>.WWW.NetSurf. Please find attached two patches that change the source accordingly. netsurf-riscos-scripts-Run.patch adds a new Variable NetSurf$RUflCache in ./netsurf/riscos/scripts/Run. librufl-src-rufl_internal.patch adjusts rufl_CACHE in ./librufl/src/rufl_internal.h accordingly. Opinions? Cheers, Christian Walther
