Actually, that's a problem -- I wouldn't rely on that behavior
staying that way. It can take several minutes to generate a large
font cache -- and doing that for each program would make things
even worse.

Yeah... just because it works right in isolation doesn't mean
it will work right when multiple apps are trying to update it.
