font-utils.el disable its cache on X and Windows so every check for the
existence of a font recomputes the font list, which takes a
non-negligible amount of time, at least on X. This default is reasonable
as stated in the docstring of font-utils-use-memory-cache:
> Disabled on X11 and MS Windows by default, because font-family-list
> often gives truncated results before Emacs is fully initialized.
This is, however, unreasonable from unicode-fonts, where calls to check
the existence of fonts happens in a loop; during the loop, Emacs is not
going to suddenly become fully initialized, , so each call is
actually recomputing the same font list over and over again.
Enabling the font-utils memory cache, at least for the duration of
unicode-fonts-setup, thus drastically reduces the initial startup time,
or the startup time when the pcache store is reset for some reason.
These optional dotfiles indicate the root of a module or module
group (:lang), and will later contain module metadata. They will also
serve as an alternative to packages.el and doctor.el, and will aide the
parts of the v3.0 module API concerned with resolving the current module
from a path (`doom-module-from-path`), which currently rely too heavily
on parsing path strings.
For now, however, they're simply placeholders.
No font supports all of Unicode or anywhere near it. It’s not even
really possible with current font formats. Therefore, rename
`doom-unicode-font` to `doom-symbol-font`. Only set it as a fallback for
characters in the `symbol` and `mathematical` scripts.
unicode-fonts takes 5-15 seconds to remap unicode blocks on first
invokation, but it does so invisibly because inhibit-redisplay and
inhibit-message are active during startup (to prevent unintended redraws
slowing down the startup process). This change ensures users get
meaningful feedback during this time.
I've omitted docs/*.org from this merge, as there is still work left to
do there, but I am pushing the module docs early so folks can benefit
from the new docs sooner.
Fewer links means less confusion.
- Merge doom-issue and doom-commit links into doom-ref (for auto-linking
Issue/PR/commit references).
- Merge doom-module-source and doom-docs-source links into doom-source.
- Rename doom-report-issue to doom-report.
- Use '!' as the icon for module issues link.
- Remove doom-repo (replaced with "doom:*" in :lang org module).
- Add doomdir and emacsdir links to :lang org module.
- doom-post-init-hook was renamed doom-init-modules-hook
- doom-init-hook was renamed doom-before-init-modules-hook
- doom-init-modules-hook now runs before the user's config.el is run
- Moved doom-init-ui-hook to run later (on window-setup-hook rather than
emacs-startup-hook).
Yield a modest improvement in startup times.
Now that we are loading package autoloads files (as part of the
generated doom-package-autoload-file when running make autoloads), many
:commands properties are redundant. In fact, many def-package! blocks
are redundant.
In some cases, we can do without a config.el file entirely, and can move
into the autoloads file or rely entirely on package autoloads.
Also, many settings have been moved in their module's autoloads files,
which makes them available ASAP; their use no longer depends on module
load order.
This gained me a modest ~10% boost in startup speed.
WARNING: THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE FOR THEME/FONT/NLINUM CUSTOMIZATIONS.
This change was motivated by the need to decouple theme and font loading
from the ui/doom module.
Now, it is doom-core's purview. Theme and fonts are loaded after
initfiles are read (attached to the doom-init-ui-hook hook), giving
other modules (especially private ones) a chance to change the theme or
fonts.
+ Refactor core-ui.el
+ New init hook: doom-init-ui-hook
+ Decouple theme/font loading from ui/doom
+ Load modelines are doom-init-ui-hook
+ New theme/font variables (replaces old ui/doom variables)
+ doom-theme
+ doom-font
+ doom-variable-pitch-font
+ doom-unicode-font
+ Change nlinum variables
+ doom-line-number-lpad
+ doom-line-number-rpad
+ doom-line-number-pad-char
