Windows: Gimp loading fonts on each startup: possible workaround
#19
I'm having the same issue all of a sudden.  The renaming work-around had no effect.  Here are the contents of my font cache folder:

 Directory of C:\Users\Ross\AppData\Local\fontconfig\cache

15-Dec-14  06:08 a.m.               204 CACHEDIR.TAG

               9 File(s)      8,215,500 bytes

(after I had renamed ef9c9ad8cc5857eb63cb3660bc8bd202-le64.cache-7 to ef9c9ad8cc5857eb63cb3660bc8bd202-le64.cache-7.old and ef9c9ad8cc5857eb63cb3660bc8bd202-le64.cache-7.new to ef9c9ad8cc5857eb63cb3660bc8bd202-le64.cache-7 ).

If I look at the traffic using Process Monitor gimp-2.10.exe is accessing c:\Windows\Fonts every 10 seconds or so.  Assuming that it is doing so in alphabetical order, I'm in for a long wait - after 35 minutes it's reached Carlito-Regular.ttf!.
