Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
SUMMARY
fc-list takes 30 seconds on 2.12.1, almost instantaneous on 2.12.0. Causes font look ups when launching terminal etc to slow down to an unusable level.
REPRODUCE
Run
time fc-list Inconsolata with 2.12.1 installed:
/Users/grc/.fonts/Inconsolata.otf: Inconsolata:style=Medium fc-list Inconsolata 30.74s user 0.71s system 98% cpu 31.805 total
Identical command with 2.12.0 installed:
/Users/grc/.fonts/Inconsolata.otf: Inconsolata:style=Medium fc-list Inconsolata 0.01s user 0.01s system 65% cpu 0.020 total

I was asked to document a similar problem a few of us have been seeing. Ports that depend on fontconfig take ~30s to start with the latest version. It may be the same root cause.

Seeing the same thing. Impacts usage of matplotlib in python and ImageMagick.

Does somebody have time to report this to the developers of fontconfig please?

Please check whether fontconfig @2.12.1_1 (r152719) has fixed this problem.

That fixes it for me: fc-list using 2.12.1_1 takes a similar time, near instantaneous, to 2.12.0_0
