Please send me (off-list) a log file showing the error, and any and all
fonts that it cannot process.

If the scan completes, then it will not scan again unless one or more of
the following is the case:

1. The installed fonts change
2. The cache file in !Scrap does not exist

Note that the cache file has moved in recent versions of NetSurf so, if
you have something that cleans out scrap on boot, it will need to be
updated to preserve the RUfl cache.
