This happened to me a while back with a rogue font, though I haven't
used the font
'd added a font (but in
any case had not suspected it to be faulty), and it wasn't until I
deleted RUfl_cache that the font scanning progress bar could be seen
again and therefore where it stopped immediately before the hang. This
helped identify the suspect font.

Are you sure that you haven't added any new fonts recently? The font
scanning code has not been changed for years. NetSurf's log file should
shed some light on which font is currently causing problems.

You do that each time you start NetSurf, or did the problem not recur?

I found it in my Resources directory! But unfortunately nothing uses it.
I'm sure Rob reads this list from time-to-time and will be able to tell you

That does not seem to be the best place to store such info.
Surely
with the font. Having scanned
the fonts when it is first run, NetSurf stores the result in !Scrap.
Thus, to avoid font-scanning at every start-up, !Scrap should not be
kept in a RAMdisc. After the fonts have been scanned, NetSurf normally
loads in about ten seconds, on a SARPC.

Updated Netsurf to Yesterdays (1st April) version.
The message reads "Scanning fonts-please wait"
So how many hours does one wait while the machine is frozen literally, for
this scan to finish.
