Hi,
My friend gave me a cd of freeware fonts and I installed all of them around 22,000 fonts... It sounds to me great as now, I would be able to have lots of font for designing logo, etc...
But since I done that, there is a major problem! FC2 is very very slow! In fact, everything is longer to load up and OpenOffice won't load anymore, it always crash.
Is there a way to speed up things again? and perhaps something to cache only the most common fonts, but keeping all the others there to use them when I will need them :/
Well, remove some fonts:) Really all the systems I know behave the same - with the prohibitive prices foundries charge for well-designed fonts (as opposed to the free ones that are mostly logo/title junk) the population that needs to work with thousands of fonts simultaneously must be really tiny.
I'm not saying that's good, just that "the user will have a small number of fonts" is a common enough software assumption.
I too have had this problem with FC2. I had some 6000 or so fonts installed. OOo would not start at all. I removed the fonts; and all is well now.
I had the same 6000 plus fonts in FC1 too. I expereienced NO such problems with FC1. OOo couldn't see the fonts in ~/.fonts in FC1; I wonder if this is an OOo problem?
