I am having an issue with prince command line being really slow when google fonts are installed locally on ubuntu.

/usr/bin/prince --input=html --server --debug --log=prince.log -s prince.css - -o - prince_test.html

and i get a log file with a 1 minute pause right before i see the line about loading style sheets. If i remove the google fonts it runs fast. Any idea how to fix this?

We are running Prince Version 10

That's strange, what fonts are these exactly?

Would you be able to install Prince 11.3 and try running the same command-line but with the princedebug script installed in /usr/lib/prince/bin/princedebug? This will generate two files in the /tmp directory, prince.debug and prince.strace, which you can email to me (mikeday@yeslogic.com) to diagnose the problem.
