Searching for fonts is cluttering the debug output

Question

First I want to say thanks for this wonderful piece of software!

Well, I’m just a beginner, made some progress and creating some nice SVG’s

Actually, I was trying to debug another small issue I had, as my custom link.conf was not found, but is included in my custom circos.conf but that I could resolve by myself.

Nevertheless, circos -debug shows many entries while it’s searching for fonts but finally after trying various locations they are found :-)

I would like to know on how I can fix this, so that the fonts are found on the first try and does not clutter the debug output?

Many thanks in advance for any hint!

NB: Unfortunately Pastebin.com is in maintenance mode, so I post a small part of the message in the debug log, with the repeating and desperate search for fonts :-)
