[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34631] MinGW + MSVC - fubarred Octave 3.4.+ after many plots

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #34631 (project octave):

Thanks, I already figured for a long time it must be a sort of font overload
issue (most Windows installations have many more fonts installed than other
platforms) but I would never have thought of file handles. Good catch.

My first thoughts on this are "why have multiple file handles open to one and
the same font file? can't file handles be shared? or kept in a memory cache?
why doesn't this happen on Linux?"

Hopefully this is easy to fix - but it surely is beyond me.

BTW as to comment #9: this bug has re-surfaced in later MXE cross-builds.
