Tux Paint launches very slowly
The first time Tux Paint is launched (for a particular user), it may take a
minute or more to respond. The font system used by Tux Paint (FontConfig,
via Pango) is creating a 'cache' of information about the fonts on your
system. Subsequent launches of Tux Paint should be fast.
While the font cache is generated behind the scenes, Tux Paint should
remain interactive (showing an animated 'please wait' animation) as this
process runs.
If this delay persists or reoccurs, it could be that the cache is being
deleted — for example, in an environment (such as a school computer lab)
where a system is returned into a default state when a user finishes using
the program. Some versions of Tux Paint ship with a file, "fonts.conf" (
documented at freedesktop.org), which can be modified to have FontConfig
store the file elsewhere, e.g.:
<cachedir>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\
fontconfig\cache</cachedir>
