This is not the normal behavior. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793918
Gimp should rebuild the font cache only when the fonts are added to/removed from the system.
A possible workaround:
- Navigate to C:\users\{your id}\AppData\local\fontconfig\cache
- There should be four files:
- CACHEDIR.TAG
- someverylongname (usually 1MB or more)
- someverylongname.NEW (usually 1MB or more, slightly bigger that the one above if you added fonts)
- someotherverylongname (small: 1K)
- rename someverylongname to someverylongname.OLD
- rename someverylongname.NEW to someverylongname
- restart Gimp which should no longer rebuild the font cache
If this works for you please confirm below.
Somehow it got set back to the old slow way, so I did it again, and it works again, saves a lot of time. I wonder how it got unset.
