PC Mark keeps freezing at loading fonts on gimp 2.8

[LuckyGentleman]

Has anyone the same issue on windows 10?

PC Mark 10 was running on the old PC at the End of last year, is that an issue that came with one of the windows updates?

Thankful for any help to fix this issue!!

I paid alot alot of money for a not running program... -.-

My System:
Intel i9 9900K
MSI RTX 2080
32 GB RAM
1 TB SSD M.2

Sorry, no idea what could be causing this. Does your system have unusually large amount of fonts? Which version of Windows 10 you have (1809? 1903? Something else?)

i have actually alot of fonts, downloaded from a free homepage... does it affect the test? latest version of W10

[UL_Jarnis]

It could. Obvious thing to try would be to try to trim the extra fonts.

Updating Gimp would affect scores. We generally do not do that.

This vulnerability is very theoretical with PCMark 10 as you do not use the version inside PCMark 10 except to run specific PCMark 10 tests (which have fixed files which they load). Only way this would apply is if you went to manually start the Gimp from inside PCMark 10 install folders and then used that to open a boobytrapped file. So as long as you do not do that and only PCMark 10 itself starts its Gimp, this issue cannot occur.

I see, thank you for clearing that up for me UL_Jarnis

I have exactly the same problem. I haven't installed a lot of extra fonts yet, but Gimp freezes on startup when loading fonts.

Does the same thing occur if you install normal standalone version of GIMP on your system and try to start it?

If it does, it suggests you may have corrupted font present in your system.

I assume it's building some sort of font database. After the 1st loading it takes only a few seconds to load.
I have around 1200 fonts in my system, and the initial loading took about 10 mins. When I check the task manager, there's one thread at full loads and I can see read activities on OS drive.
