[Gimp-user] Slow startup indexing fonts on Windows - Solved on Windows 10

[nechus <forums gimpusers com>]

My (wonderful) experience, just in case somebody might find it useful. (Not sure
if this is going to work for everyone)

GIMP used to take up to a whole minute indexing fonts every time it started up
on my Windows 10 laptop.

Somewhere I read the suggestion to find the .font.cache-1 file in
users/myaccount and delete everything that was written in it. But there was no
such file in such location.

So I decided to create the file... and it worked!! GIMP starts as fast now as it
does on Linux!!

Go to C:\Users\youraccount ("youraccount" means "the account with your name or
whatever name you gave to the account you normally use)

Right click on any empty space withing the window.

Select New > Text document

Name it .font.cache-1 (starting with a dot)

Delete the .txt extension.

Restart the computer. Start GIMP.

Let's hope for the miracle to happen! I can't guarantee this will work, but...
who knows! Good luck! ^^
