I've been playing around with buttons (...) in epoch (3.2.2), which seem handy not only for adding different fonts & things to text, but also provide a way to remember character-pos -> data-object mappings. However I find that a large number of buttons (2/line in a 65 line screen) makes redisplay really sluggish, even in other screens (e.g., non-self-insert commands in the minibuffer have a noticeable delay). Even attribute 0 (invisible) buttons have this effect. Is the only solution ``don't use lots of buttons'' or are there tricks I can use to make things faster? Thanks, -Miles -- -- Miles Bader -- HCRC, University of Edinburgh -- Miles.Bader@ed.ac.uk
