Package: libfontconfig1
Version: 2.3.2-1
Severity: important

My home directory is mounted from the home server via NFS.
I'm using both my workstation and a X11 Terminal where I'm
logged onto the server.

I recently (I guess since a few weeks ago) noticed that often
my applications take quite a long time (10-30 seconds) to start
up.

The cause for this is the .fonts.cache-1 in my home directory, which
contains timestamps for all font directories and fonts.
Each time I start an application after switching hosts, the
timestamps in the .fonts.cache-1 no longer match and it is regenerated,
which takes 10-30 seconds.

This is rather annoying, because I switch between workstation and X11
Terminal several times per day.

I guess the solution would be to include the hostname in the name of the
file (.fonts.<hostname>.cache-1).
