[android-developers] skia / purging [x]k from font cache [y entries] - what does it mean? was Re: Custom Fonts

Hello, I am noticing the same with an implementation for some new functionality I'm experimenting with.  I am doing a lot of canvas.drawText calls on a custom View canvas, using the system font though.  Are you doing canvas.drawText a lot, Samuh?

Also a "bump" in case anyone reading has knowledge on this subject.  Wondering am I doing something stupid here, trying to avoid jankiness.

We are using four different custom fonts across our app. These files
are bundled in Assets and are opened in onCreate of every Activity.

While studying the logs of our app we keep observing the following log
from Skia decoder.

01-01 19:19:51.585: DEBUG/skia(1510): purging 197K from font cache [20
entries]

What does the above mean? And how does it affect performance?

Is it desirable?

Thanks.
