SMPlayer "Updating fonts cache" on every start, is this normal?

Hello!

Everytime I open a video file with smplayer, it takes about ~2 sec and displays the message "Updating the fonts cache. This may take a few seconds.."

Is this normal that smplayer does this on EVERY movie I open in it?
It always takes this 2 seconds..
I think it would start immediately without this "updating fonts cache"

What could be wrong? Or is this normal?

I've seen this too since a few days ago... It doesn't take long so I'm not sure if it happened before or not. Also, I don't care.

I think it has something to do with SSA/ASS subtitle rendering library, but I'm not 100% sure if that's realy the reason.
