Summary
The following code takes 10-12 seconds to run on my machine:
import matplotlib.font_manager as font_manager
fonts = font_manager.findSystemFonts(fontext="ttf")For reference, I have 360 fonts installed according to Font Book.
Proposed fix
I fixed this issue in arcadia-pycolor #58 by just searching within the font directories myself:
def _find_macos_arcadia_fonts() -> list[str]:
"""
Search for Arcadia fonts in the standard macOS font directories.
"""
font_paths = []
for dirpath in MACOS_FONT_DIRECTORIES:
if not Path(dirpath).exists():
continue
paths = [
str(font_path)
for font_path in Path(dirpath).glob("*.ttf")
if FONT_FILTER.lower() in font_path.name.lower()
]
font_paths.extend(paths)
return font_paths
