This issue has cropped up on openSUSE 11.3 as well. I was running Inkscape 0.47 on 11.2 + texlive without any problems. Since 11.3 the standard texlive package seems to include virtually thousands of fonts (1700 on my system) that are visible to inkscape. After removing texlive inkscape starts in 5 seconds. As I need both latex and inkscape in a usable state, I started deleting these fonts manually while checking that my texfiles still compiled without font errors. Quite tedious...
BTW: all of the TeX fonts are also visible in the KDE font installer applet, but openoffice seems to ignore them. Maybe inkscape could be tweaked to ignore those fonts as well (via configuration options). -- Inkscape 0.47 is slow starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488247 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
