[SOLVED] rofi slow to open after update

After an update recently rofi opened much slower than normal, almost a full second delay. I downgraded the entire system to a version that worked normally on another laptop from 2024-06-23 and the problem remained. I followed troubleshooting steps on github for rofi using

G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Timings rofi -show drun

and found the delay was here

source/view.c:__create_window:875 configure font

Refreshing the font cache fixed the problem.

sudo fc-cache -r -v

I hope this helps someone in the future with a similar issue.
