The only combination that is slow on my computer is "many fonts (which basically means TeXlive is installed, but installing many X11 fonts instead makes it slow, as well)" *and* "starting up the inkscape gui" at the same time. Using the inkscape as a filter (without starting up its GUI) is fast regardless of the number of fonts. And starting up the GUI without many fonts installed is rather fast on my system, as well; the overall experience in this case can be increased a little bit further by setting "pre-render named icons" in the "misc" preference tab, though.
If I did mark the bug as a duplicate of the wrong report - please revert my setting of the "duplicate" attribute. Thanks in advance, in this case. -- 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
