startx lagging process

When I export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" the locale language working properly but it's so lagging on the startx process otherwise When I remove the exportion it starting properly and fast

What does it supposed to be ?

Maybe I'm using a very big font with thousands of characters, it can happen that all the characters are rasterized on startup, and this can take a lot of time

AFAIR loading an UTF8 font can take some time

Maybe I can probably try to use an arabic specific locale and font.

Any ideas ?

Are you using fluxbox ?

If yes, flux takes a long time to load under a utf8 locale

its a known bug in fluxbox. I see the X/fluxbox section in the article you mentioned and on this forum topic or this bug in Gentoo bugzilla. most of it applies to Slackware, not all.

I have to choose a different locale or recompile fluxbox myself with disablexmb USE flag

I used to be indecisive .. but now I'm not so sure
