--- Comment #2 from Edward edward.leuf@gmail.com --- OK! After a lot of this way and that way, I figured out the problem. For some reason my .fonts folder had duplicates in it - the unsorted in its root, and sorted inside a subfolder called Library - and wine was trying to cache it all. I know this because when I "removed" the .fonts folder wine started up very quickly (GUI and everything). When I put it back and took out the Library folder wine started up with a bit of a delay. Putting back the Library folder and removing the unsorted fonts wine started up with a slightly less delay.
Now I am wondering if there is a possibility for wine to have a -switch to prevent it from pre-loading the .fonts, or dig into the program being run to get exactly what fonts it needs and only load those from the .fonts folder?
