Description Karl 2017-04-19 17:24:02 UTC 
Every couple of weeks or so, I start Gimp, and then it sits there for a VERY long time loading fonts. I get up and go do something else while my computer's fan goes into overdrive. Photoshop doesn't do this.

I wouldn't care so much if it didn't keep happening. I don't even care about or use fonts (aside from Helvetica), which makes this even more aggravating.

This is on a Macbook pro running Sierra.

Yes, a variant of this bug has been reported, but in this case it keeps happening again and again, not just on first launch.
Comment 3 Michael Schumacher 2017-04-20 03:28:22 UTC 
Do you use something that cleans out temporary directories?
Comment 4 Karl 2017-04-20 03:30:55 UTC 
No. Just a regular macos.
