CacheFont is a little utility that makes accessing your fonts significantly
quicker -- in fact, near instant.

I was always annoyed when using any programs on my Amiga which involved
fonts by the fact that when the program went to see what fonts were
available, I was presented with a rather lengthy wait. I decided I'd
finally had enough of this, and it was time to do something about it.

So after much poring over my keyboard and flicking through Amiga Intern, I
finally came up with a solution. This utility comes in two parts:

  CacheFont . . . . Installs or removes CacheFont (run it once to install
                    the program, and a second time to remove it).
  MakeFontList  . . This program must be run before CacheFont can be used.
                    It creates the list of fonts that CacheFont will use
                    later in order to avoid reading the whole font list
                    again.

CacheFont relies entirely on the files made by the MakeFontList utility. If
your fonts directory is changed, CacheFont will *not* know anything about
it unless you run MakeFontList afterwards. Even rebooting your machine
won't change the list of fonts that CacheFont is aware of, so please run
the MakeFontList utility every time you change your font directory. It
takes only as long to run as a single font requester would've taken without
CacheFont, and I think you'll agree that your font directory is changed
much less often than you open a font requester!
