Again, that's application specific implementation details and not a Windows problem.
- SushiHippie 3y agoWindows could provide an API that has a font cache, which other programs can use to quickly get all fonts if they need to. Linux for example has fontconfig with a metadata cache "fc-cache" https://man.archlinux.org/man/fc-cache.1.en https://man.archlinux.org/man/fc-cache.1.en
- cptskippy 3y agoWindows has a Font Cache service that runs in the background so I would imagine they do. I'm not a Desktop Developer so I'm not all that familiar with the Windows API. But like any system, just because a convenient API exists that doesn't mean developers know about or use it. Especially with cross platform solutions, developers will opt not to use a particular API because it complicates things. My guess is that these are poorly optimized Apps and the blogger is blaming the OS for their offenses.
