That is described in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.xemacs.beta/24873
For Solaris, there is no /usr/share/fonts. So, I made that a
symlink
to where all of my fonts are. But, there are quite a large number in
the actual directory that I linked to. And, I think, that is why it
starts consuming large amounts of memory.
I did read your post in the archive but it didn’t seem to apply to me.
On my linux system there is a /usr/share/fonts directory with several
sub-directories which all together contain a huge amount of fonts:
mfabian＠magellan:~$ fc-list : file | wc
3413 3683 138337
mfabian＠magellan:~$
I.e. I have 3413 font files installed. The /usr/share/fonts/truetype
directory alone contains 909 font files:
mfabian＠magellan:~$ fc-list : file | grep usr/share/fonts/truetype | wc
909 912 38611
mfabian＠magellan:~$
Nevertheless, XEmacs doesn’t consume huge amounts of memory while
starting but only much later when I am already using if for many hours
or even days.
However, xft xemacs was pretty unstable for me, so it could have
been
something else. Lots of crashes.
I have lots of crashes as well but all of them seem to be in the new
garbage collector, always the same backtrace:
