- Hi!
-
- I've finally got a nice, big 'ol Mac: 400 meg drive, and 20 megs of
- memory. This has allowed me to install a whole bunch of fonts in my
- System (mainly bitmaps).
-
- The problem is that this is slowing several of my applications down
- noticeably. Hypercard in particular takes a long time to open the
- script editor, switch between editing modes, etc...
-
- Since I've got RAM and disk space to spare, is there anything I can do
- to allocate more space to the Font Manager somehow to speed things up?
- Are there tools or utilities that will deal with this?
-
- Ramon
