slow xterm startup (Problem solved)

[Lev S Bishop]

Solved my own problem. I ran fc-cache and now xterm kicks off in under a 
second... I have:
        <dir>/cygdrive/c/windows/fonts/</dir>
In my /etc/fonts/local.conf so there's quite a few fonts to scan, which I 
guess explains the delay. Question: the man page for fontconfig (man 
fonts-conf) states that ~/.fonts-cache-* "is automatically maintained by 
fontconfig". Does this mean that I don't have to remember to rerun 
fc-cache when I install new fonts?

I still wonder whether its right that xterm is linked over 2000 times to 
cygXt-6.dll
