It's not a bug, it's a feature of the new VLC. It will rebuild your font cache on first run. There is no way to disable it in VLC itself. The font cache is stored with your VLC Portable instance for use on the next run.

Thanks John - my bad! I apologize for jumping into conclusions too fast. It gave the rebuilding font cache warning the first time I launched it and I automatically decided it had the same "issue" as the previous 1.1.0 version and immediately came here whining instead of doing a little more due diligence! Thank you for your dedication and understanding!

Not a problem, getco. Incidentally, 1.1.0 Rev 2 fixed this issue, so it would have been a regression if it still existed in 1.1.1. We tested the launcher for this specifically in 1.1.1 before releasing to ensure it didn't crop up again.
