Hi guys!
Thanks for looking into this. when i tested it yesterday in yakkety beta 1, i noticed it worked considerably better. That is; at a normal speed, considering the rather large collection of font we ship by default in Ubuntu Studio. However this doesn't justify shipping an old semi-broken version when there have been considerable improvements made upstream. For my own work i use the PPA and the energy that has been placed into making font-manager better is amazing, (thank you Jerry and your team for that!) 

The Ubuntu Studio team is very small, but i'll see if i can find someone
willing to package/maintain it in debian and i will certainly reach out
to the SRU-team. This piece of software is too precious in a graphic-
design workflow to be left out. But i agree that we should not ship a
broken version. That would just become a bug-tracker nightmare.

I'll be in touch!

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
