Yes. Could you check the creation date of the large cache file,

deleting the entire lilypond font cache, ie delete the

from scratch. Maybe a long shot but worth a try. See my other
recent note for details of why.

I did this to no effect. It still rebuilds the cache each time I run
Lilypond. :(
What happens if you untick `Automatically adjust clock for daylight
saving changes'?
I haven't had any problems even though my cache was created in April,
but forcing a rebuild results in the same delay you're experiencing
every time unless the automatic clock adjustment is turned off for the
first run.
Thanks Neil, this seems to be at least one of the causes of the cache
rebuild problem. I've always had the "Automatically adjust ..." box
ticked,
and have never experienced any problems, but then, my cache was first
built in March, before the daylight-saving period began here. So in
summary, in seems that the problem occurs if the cache is first built
during a daylight saving period when the system is set to automatically
adjust the clock for daylight saving.
The Vista fix for LilyPond releases for and after 2.11.42 is to uncheck
the
"Automatically adjust .." box, delete ~/.lilypond-fonts.cache-2 and run
LilyPond again to rebuild the cache. The "Automatically adjust ..." box
can then be checked again and all should thereafter work correctly.
For releases earlier than 2.11.34 the font cache was saved in
~/.fontconfig. Otherwise I guess the fix is the same.
If any Vista user finds this does not work for them, please post the
details to the -user and/or the -bug list.
