Description jameslee 2003-03-24 18:11:01 UTC 
When spadmin is used to remove fonts that is added it shows that the fonts have
been removed however the fonts are still opened when soffice runs.

The user's pspfontcache does not change when spadmin is used to remove fonts.
The file still lists the removed fonts although the spadmin GUI doesn't show
them.

I have seen this when I truss soffice. It read the names from my pspfontcache
then xstats the full list.

I added a lot of fonts just to see what happened, decided I didn't like them
(too much in the font menus!) so removed them but they still get look at and
prolongs startup needlessly.

TM->JA: Please have a look, thanks !
Comment 2 Joost Andrae 2003-03-31 13:23:13 UTC 
JA: as discussed with a developer this behaviour is not a bug and as a
performance issue I cannot accept this because performance tuning of
the font list is already work in progress...so please stay
tuned...closing this issue as invalid
Comment 3 Joost Andrae 2003-03-31 13:25:40 UTC 
JA: closing issue
Comment 4 jameslee 2003-04-01 09:05:06 UTC 
Sorry, I don't understand the comments. You have "discussed with the
developer"; would you kindly expand so the dumb user who has to wait
while this product starts up can understand.

Are you saying that "bloatware" is acceptable? I add fonts, I ask for
them to be removed, they are not. Why is this correct?

If you are saying that this problem has already been fixed in another
way, or exists due to a bug in another system, or that it will be
fixed becasue the whole font system is due for change then fine, but
that is different from telling me that this doesn't happen or is
correct.

JA->PL: could you please clearify this ? Reassigned to you...
Comment 6 philipp.lohmann 2003-04-01 15:34:04 UTC 
The problem is fixed 2 ways:
1) the behaviour was intended since the font cache (that is the C++
object behind the file pspfontcache) is supposed to check its
consistency; therefore it checks for files inside the cache and
removes them from the cache if either they are not available anymore
or the have changed modification times

2) the above method of updating was not deemed fast enough and
therefore the cache code was rewritten (see issue 12889) so that the
font cache invalidates itself when a cached directory changes.

Hope that helps
