Hang on. Here's more moaning about WfW. Setup: WfW 1.1 & ATM 1.0, over 180
fonts installed. (Yeah, I know, but it's a *real* pain to have to install
fonts, close all of my apps, kill windows and restart, and re-open every-
thing.)
When first starting Windows, ATM grinds through all of the installed fonts.\
This takes a little while (1-2min), but is barable. WfW runs fine, with all
of those fonts when I'm using the Epson 24-pin driver. However, when I
switch to the PostScript driver, the only way to describe the continual
grinding of ATM and WfW is: "Shut 'er down, Clancy, she's a-pumpin' mud."
When I first select the PostScript driver, either WfW or ATM grinds through
all of the fonts (like at Windows start up) -- this, again I can deal with.
But from then on, almost everything that I do causes it to grind through\
the fonts: changing my View, Preferences, changing character formatting,
printing (it does grinds through the stuff *twice* - once before printing
and once afterwards). Anyhow, I spend most of my time watching the drive
light...
Is this a function of WfW or ATM? Is there a solution other than cutting
back on installed fonts? Does Adobe have any plans to change ATM so fonts
can be installed on-the-fly?
