I realise there is no need to manually rebuild the registry.  I was just
wondering if there was a way for an administrator to rebuild the
registry (or a package postinst script), the same as is possible with
fontconfig.

I'm wondering how many users would actually correlate the increased
startup time with the fact that they'd installed an OS update, rather
than considering the app to be unreliable.

However, if the registration is fast in the general case, then it
probably isn't a problem.
