I added around 20 Chinese TrueType fonts ttc files into /usr/share/fonts/chinese/ (The current chinese fonts directory where originally only 2 truetype fonts), steps as below;
  # cd /usr/share/fonts/chinese/ttf  (get into current Chinese truetype fonts directory)
  # cp /media/cdrom/*.ttc ./
  # ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
  # mkfontdir
  # chkfontpath -a /usr/share/fonts/chinese/ttf
   
  Restart system, and the new added fonts are all there, result is perfect except one thing, the system starts very very slow;
  When starting at beginning in text mode, works fine.
  At the point the the arrow  with a spinning loop, this process takes 3 and half minutes to reach to the login screen for user to input name and pass word.
  After that everything works fine.
  What happen and how to get around?
