Did you try trashing your fontconfig cache?

• Press Command-Shift-H in Finder to go to your home folder.
• Press Command-Shift-G to open the go to sheet.
• Enter ".fontconfig" (should autocomplete with tab) and click Open.
• Delete all the cache files in the folder that opens.

Hi Adrian, thanks for your suggestion.
Unfortunately that didn't work.
I've tried flushing the fontconfig folder and restarting (both Mplayer and my comp) a few times but to no avail.
Today I updated to test8 and it's the same.
Also, each time Mplayer rebuilds the fontconfig (the fontconfig popup menu disappears) I stil have to wait another 30sec-2min before playback actually begins. The wait time seems to be related to the size of the video file.

Incidentally I am using Path Finder (latest build) and do not have Finder running, although I can confirm I still have the problem when both are running together, and also when only Finder is running.

Thanks for your help.

fontconfig became corrupted and would crash mposxe on start with no notice, deleting the directory fixed it but perhaps that should be integrated self-fixing behavior?

Registered to say that I have the same issue as the original poster. Every time I fire up Mplayer, it has to update the fontconfig and takes a few minutes. Likewise, once that's complete, it takes an additional 2-3 minutes for the movie to actually start playing.

Once it starts, it's great. mkv files, even at 1080p look fantastic. But hoping the issue of always loading fontconfig and delay in startup might be looked at/resolved.

I'm running rev13 (13310) on OS X 10.6.

If there's any additional info that I can provide, please let me know.

Thanks!
Charlie

Also wanted to mention I tried deleting the .fontcache files as per your instructions, Adrian. No effect. There's apparently some common element between bond's machine/config and mine :\

Thanks!

rev13, 10.6.4

Font caching happens once every reboot.

Is there a resolution/workaround for this issue?

Same problem here.

Could this have to do with using FileVault? I use FileVault on all my machines.
