Windows: Gimp loading fonts on each startup: possible workaround

[Kevin]

OK it's slightly more complicated for me...

I have several verylongname files:  (listing done in cygwin for convenience)

Code:

$ ls -l
total 15360

So working on the assumption that the someverylongname.NEW shares the same base name as the file we want, then I'm re-naming d031bbba323fd9e5b47e0ee5a0353f11-le64.cache-7 to d031bbba323fd9e5b47e0ee5a0353f11-le64.cache-7.OLD and d031bbba323fd9e5b47e0ee5a0353f11-le64.cache-7.NEW to d031bbba323fd9e5b47e0ee5a0353f11-le64.cache-7

And success no more long wait at looking for fonts AND no more long wait to close GIMP (on Windows 7)
