the system has been installes just a few weeks ago. i don't think there ary any corrupt files. i even haven't installed additional fonts yet.If VLC is crashing/hanging while rebuilding the font cache, I'd wager you have some corrupt fonts installed on your system. You should try and determine what those are and remove them. There are a few tools that can assist, but I have no experience with them, so Google would be the next step.
That appears to be correct in your specific situation. My reply was a general one to one of the other possible causes of this issue (I doubt everyone is using G-Data).the system has been installes just a few weeks ago. i don't think there ary any corrupt files. i even haven't installed additional fonts yet.
the problem seems to be caused by G-Data Internet Security 2011 Software, see my older post above.
I can't speak directly, as I haven't hacked the core VLC code, but I have worked with VLC quite a bit in packaging VLC Portable with PortableApps.com. It appear that it reads in the fonts from the Windows\Fonts directory and then creates the cache based on that. The result is then saved in %APPDATA%\vlc as LONGALPHASTRING.cache-2. No registry keys are altered during the process. As with many cross-platform apps, VLC is pretty light in terms of creating any deeper hooks into Windows, which is to say that it doesn't create any.ah, ok. i thought you were talking to me.
i think it would be helpful to know, what exactly happens during the building of the fontcache. which folders are read out, which folders are written to? are there any other tings that happen, perhaps reading or writing in the registry?
