Synopsis: adding font directory causes race condition
Severity: 3
Priority: 2
Description:
Add font directory containing >100 fonts to font path with
XSetFontPath(). Look for font known to be in directory,
using XListFonts(). Notice font not found. Reset font path,
retry. Notice font not found. Reset font path. Try again,
but add 4 second sleep between XSetFontPath() and XListFonts().
Notice font now found. (Use wild card asterisks when specifying
font name.)
Work around:
4 second sleep after each call to XSetFontPath().
Suggested fix:
None known.
