Trick to Disable Building Font Cache Dialog in VLC Player


VLC Player user? Annoyed with constant "Building font cache" dialog box? Want to make it stop? Just follow these steps :





1. Open VLC player

2. Go to Tools > Preferences

3. Check "All" radio button as under “Show Settings”

4. Go to Video > Subtitles/OSD in the left pane


5. On the right pane, select “Dummy font rendering functions” as "Text rendering module"



6.  Click Save

Now open VLC, you should be free of cache-building dialog box. VLC only rebuilds font cache file to display subtitles in videos, hence this trick should not cause any problem.
