Errorsrelated to quickfontcache.dll can arise for a few different different reasons. For instance, a faulty application, quickfontcache.dll has been deleted or misplaced, corrupted by malicious software present on your PC or a damaged Windows registry.

In the vast majority of cases, the solution is to properly reinstall quickfontcache.dll on your PC, to the Windows system folder. Alternatively, some programs, notably PC games, require that the DLL file is placed in the game/application installation folder.

Copy the fonts to /usr/local/share/fonts or a subfolder (such as /usr/local/share/fonts/TTF) and then run sudo fc-cache -fv. There are some graphical programs you can install to make this easier, but I've never felt the need to try any of them. The Ubuntu wiki page on Fonts here may be of help too.


Fontmatrix is a real Linux font manager, available on any platform and as well for KDE (which already had Kfontinstaller) as for Gnome. It's purpose is to recursively query the fonts (ttf, ps & otf) in the directories you give it to search, sort them quickly, (avoiding bugged or broken ones) and show them. Then, you can tag them, sub-tag, re-sort according various tags, preview... Even create a pdf Font Book...


Fontmatrix has been available to install from the Ubuntu universe repository since jaunty, and version 0.6.0+svn20100107-2ubuntu2 is currently in maverick and natty. A brief explanation about using fontmatrix is available on their website.


Also, there are lots of fonts available as software packages. Font packages are named in the form ttf-* or otf-*. It is better to install fonts as packages instead of manually if possible. You can use tools such as Synaptic, apt-get or the Ubuntu Software Centre. The Software Centre has a dedicated fonts section.


A better answer than the one provided there (i.e. to go to Google Fonts and look up the font and go through their weird downloading system) is to get it directly from Github, e.g.:Roboto Mono font files


PS: There's another duplicate question at "Downloading Google Fonts". It details some other methods, like using an installer script from googlecode.com and (for more than the Google Fonts) using tasksel.


I think the best way is to use gfinstall script, install it and you just say gfinstall whicheverFont and it will install it, you can also specify it to install locally (for the current user) or globally for all users


No, SQL Server is not about magic. But if you don't have a good understandingof how SQL Server compiles queries and maintains its plan cache, it may seem so.Furthermore, there are some unfortunate combinations of different defaults indifferent environments. In this article, I will try to straighten out why you get this seemingly inconsistent behaviour.I explain how SQL Server compiles a stored procedure, what parameter sniffingis and why it is part of the equation in the vast majority of these confusingsituations. I explain how SQL Server uses the cache, and why there may bemultiple entries for a procedure in the cache. Once you have come this far, youwill understand how come the query runs so much faster in SSMS.


The essence of this article applies to all versions of SQL Server from SQL 2005 and on.The article includes several queries to inspect the plan cache. Beware that to run these queries you need to have the server-level permissionVIEW SERVER PERFORMANCE STATE. (This permission was introduced in SQL 2022. On earlier versions, you will need the permissions VIEW SERVER STATE.) When features were introduced in a certain version or is only available in some editions of SQL Server, I try to mention this. On the other hand, I don't explicitly mention whether a certain feature or behaviour is available on Azure SQL Database or Azure SQL Managed Instance. Since these platforms are cutting-edge, you can assume that they support everything I discuss in this article. However, the names of some DMVs may be different on Azure SQL Database.


For the examples in this article, I use the Northwind sample database. This is a old demo database from Microsoft, which you find in the file Northwind.sql. (I have modified the original version to replace legacy LOB types with MAX types.)


This is not a beginner-level article, but I assume that the reader has a working experience of SQL programming. You don't need to have any prior experience of performance tuning, but it certainly helps if you have looked a little at query plans and if you have some basic knowledge of indexes, that is even better. I will not explain the basics in depth, as my focus is a little beyond that point. This article will not teach you everything about performancetuning, but at least it will be a start.


The majority of the screenshots and output in this article were collected with SSMS 18.8 against an instance of SQL Server running SQL 2019 CU8. If you use a different version of SSMS and/or SQL Server you may see slightly different results. I would however recommend that you use the most recent version of SSMS which you can download here.


In this chapter we will look at how SQL Server compiles a stored procedureand uses the plan cache. If your application does not use stored procedures, butsubmits SQL statements directly, most of what I say this chapter is still applicable. But there are furthercomplications with dynamic SQL, and since the facts about stored procedures are confusing enough, I have deferred the discussion on dynamicSQL to a separate chapter.


With a more general and stringent terminology I should talk about modules,but since stored procedures is by far the most widely used type of module, I prefer totalk about stored procedures to keep it simple.


are no different from ad-hoc queries that access the tables directly. Whencompiling the query, SQL Server expands the view/function into the query, andthe optimizer works with the expanded query text.


I would guess most people think of Inner_sp as being independent from Outer_sp,and indeed it is. The execution plan for Outer_sp does not include thequery plan for Inner_sp, only the invocation of it. However, there is a very similar situation whereI've noticed that posters on SQL forums often have adifferent mental image, to wit dynamic SQL:


It is important to understand that this is no different from nested stored procedures. The generatedSQL string is notpart of Some_sp, nor does it appear anywhere in the query plan for Some_sp, but it has aquery plan and a cache entry of its own. This applies, no matter if the dynamicSQL is executed through EXEC() or sp_executesql.


Starting with SQL 2019, scalar user-defined functions have become a blurry case. In this version, Microsoft introduced inlining of scalar functions, which is a great improvement for performance. There is no specific syntax make a scalar function inlined, but instead SQL Server decides on its own whether it is possible to inline a certain function. To confuse matters more, inlining does not happen in all contexts. For instance, if you have a computed column that calls a scalar UDF, inlining will not happen, even if the function as such qualifies for it. Thus, a scalar user-defined function may have a cache entry of its own, but you should first look at the plan for the query you are working with; you may find the logic for the function inside has been expanded into the plan. This is nothing we will discuss further in this article, but I wanted to mention it here to get our facts straight.


When you enter a stored procedure with CREATE PROCEDURE (or CREATE FUNCTIONfor a function or CREATE TRIGGER for a trigger), SQL Server verifies that thecode is syntactically correct, and also checks that you do not refer tonon-existing columns. (But if you refer to non-existing tables, it lets get youaway with it, due to a misfeature known as deferred named resolution.) However,at this point SQL Server does not build any query plan, but merely storesthe query text in the database.


It is not until a user executes the procedure, that SQL Server creates theplan. For each query, SQL Server looks at the distribution statistics ithas collected about the data in the tables in the query. Fromthis, it makes an estimate of what may be best way to execute the query. Thisphase is known as optimisation. While the procedure is compiled in one go,each query is optimised on its own, and there is no attempt to analyse the flowof execution. This has a very important ramification: the optimizer has no ideaabout the run-time values of variables. However, it does know what valuesthe user specified for the parameters to the procedure.


Before you run the procedures, enable Include Actual Execution Plan underthe Query menu. (There is also a toolbar button and Ctrl-M is the normal keyboard shortcut.)If you look at the query plans for the procedures, you will see thefirst two procedures have identical plans:


In this case, SQL Server scans the table. (Keep in mind that in aclustered index the leaf pages contain the data, so a clustered index scan anda table scan is essentially the same the thing.) Why this difference? To understand why the optimizer makes certain decisions, it is always a good idea to look at whatestimates it is working with. If you hover with the mouse over the two Seek operators and the Scan operator, you will see the pop-ups similar to those below.


The interesting element is Estimated Number of Rows Per Execution. For the first two procedures, SQL Server estimates that one row will be returned, but for List_orders_3, the estimate is 249 rows. This difference in estimates explains the different choice of plans. Index Seek + Key Lookup is a good strategy to return a smaller number of rows from a table. But when more rows match the seek criteria, the cost increases, and there is a increased likelihood that SQL Server will need to access the same data page more than once. In the extreme case where all rows are returned, a table scan is much more efficient than seek and lookup. With a scan, SQL Server has to read every data page exactly once, whereas with seek + key lookup, every page will be visited once for each row on the page. The Orders table in Northwind has 830 rows, and when SQL Server estimates that as many as 249 rows will be returned, it (rightly) concludes that the scan is the best choice.
