Description Colin Walters 2003-01-12 11:40:59 UTC 
As you can see in the above URL, someone filed a bug against the Debian
fontoconfig package saying that fc-cache consumed a lot of memory.  I can't
reproduce this personally, but maybe the submitter will be able to give more
information...

It would be nice to know if this is a problem on machines with more reasonable
amounts of memory; 132Meg isn't a huge allocation for todays machines.
Comment 2 Lionel Elie Mamane 2003-01-13 21:12:56 UTC 
It is. I have 256MB of memory, and my system barely manages it: I have to exit
all other programs, and then it just manages it. If I have a normal working
session running, random programs start getting killed, and often the X server is
second in line... Very annoying when I forget to exit all other programs.
Comment 3 Keith Packard 2003-01-28 13:33:05 UTC 
It appears (from reading the Debian bug) that this is a problem in freetype, not
fontconfig.  I'm going to set this to INVALID and see if someone can figure out
which underlying version of freetype is causing the problem.  I don't see
this on my Debian system.
