- Ad 1.: You are most probably using the large font prefs. These use
- CompuGraphic fonts and if you have not created bitmaps for the sizes used
- in AWeb it will create them on startup in memory. This takes some time.
- Remedy: Use System/Intellifont to create bitmap versions of the sizes. For
- the AWeb prefs included that would be CGTimes 17, 20, 24 and 37. Read your
- AmigaDOS manuals on how to use Intellifont.
-
- This change reduced AWeb startup time to 1 second here, whereas it was 14
- seconds before.
-
- Ad 2.: Mail the boneheads to make an alternative frameless version, they are
- after all in violation of the only _official_ HTML standard :)
