@Jerry: Is there any chance you can spot a specific commit in the source
which would fix the problem in version 0.5.7 wrt dealing with Noto Sans?
In that case we could patch it in Xenity. The archive admins are
typically disinclined to accept a new version in a stable release
update.

(The problem might be related to the OTC format, which is used in fonts-
noto-cjk to save space. But this is just a guess - I haven't tested if
replacing the OTC files with OTF would make a difference.)

Title:
  "Querying installed files" process on start-up takes abnormally long
  (~20minutes)

Status in font-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When starting font-manager it queries the installed font files. Until
  16.04 this process has been fairly fast. Since 16.04 it takes up to 20
  minutes, and looks like the app died: loading bar gets stuck and
  switching the window back from the background shows an empty window.

  2 ways to reproduce:

  a)
  - launch font-manager
  expected result: font-manager loads quickly and is ready for operation
  result: font-manager faints a crash but is in fact alright after 20 minutes querying the installed font files

  b)
  - once launched, install new fonts
  - press "reload now" when prompted
  expected result: font-manager loads quickly and is ready for operation
  result: font-manager faints a crash but is in fact alright after 20 minutes querying the installed font files
