Re: [Inkscape-user] No Inkscape window in MacOS 10.5.2
Dear Jeremy,
I do not know why Inkscape builds a font cache. The user JiHO in the Inkscape-users list is the one who recommended to wait for Inkscape to build the font cache.
Thanks for the message.

Why does inkscape build a font cache? Why can't it just rely on the existing fontconfig cache? Or is it using yet another font mechanism that is going to give me nightmares?

I have installed Inkscape-0.45.1-2-UNIVERSAL into Mac OS 10.5.2 with Xquartz 2.1.3. I can NOT get the menu bar or the window. I only get the part of the menu bar that reads "inkscape." Has anyone seen this behavior? Can someone give me direction on how to troubleshoot my installation? PowerMac G5 with 1.5 Gb of memory.
The first time Inkscape starts it takes quite a while to build the font cache. Maybe you just have to be patient. Otherwise there's a PPC build available in the development versions: http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/Inkscape-16774-PPC.dmg Tell us if one of the two solutions work. If the development version works, it means that the next version (due soon) will.

It relies on fontconfig cache (no nightmares) but it rebuilds it the first time it starts. Users were complaining about missing fonts a lot and rebuilding the cache usually improves things so we did that. It's only on the first start so that's not very annoying. Gimp does the same by the way. We used to have a message that said what Inkscape was doing but it is gone apparently.
