What does Building font cache mean ?
Generally whenever VLC is loaded it scans for fonts in the system that are required to display title or subtitles of the movie being played. It finds the fonts and copies it in the cache memory for any further reference.
As it scans whole system it may take time to do this process, but most of users like me gets annoyed by constant rebuilding font cache process, so here's the solution of this problem.
Steps to stop VLC Building font cache.
- Goto Tools menu and select Preferences or press ctrl+p.
- Select "All" from show setting tab in the bottom left corner.
- select "videos" from available list of options and select subtitles/osd option from videos tab
- Now select "Dummy font renderer" from Text rendering module
- Press on save button.
That is all you need to do to stop VLC to search fonts from the system again and again.The next time you open VLC, you will be free from that annoying cache-building dialog.
