FM 7.2 starts much slower than 7.1

2006-05-19 Thread Klaus Daube

   Dear all,

   FM 7.2 starts very slow compared to 7.1 - what may be the reason?

   Machine: 3 GHz, 1GB RAM, drives C[System[ and H[Programs] are on an SATA 100
   disk

   OS   XP SP2 with all automatic updates

   FM   in both cases with Shlomo Perets' toolbar

   location H:\Adobe\framemaker.72en\FrameMaker.exe

H:\adobe\FrameMaker.71en\FrameMaker.exe

   Starting FM 7.2b144 for the first time after Windows start

   0  sec double click on framemaker.exe

   7  splash sreen appears and immediately shows 'Fonts'

  34  fonts are loaded and start sequnece continues

  (thats 27 seconds for font business)

  40  FM Window appears, start of plugins etc. begins

   Further starts:

   0  sec double click on framemaker.exe

   5  FM Window appears, start of plugins etc. begins

   Starting FM 7.1p116 for the first time after Windows start

   0  sec double click on framemaker.exe

  10  FM Window appears

   Further starts:

   0  sec double click on framemaker.exe

   2  FM Window appears

   What may be the reason for the much more time consuming font handling in FM
   7.2?

Klaus,

My machine is similar in configuration to yours and Frame 7.2 loads in 
about 10 seconds. (7.1 is no longer on this machine.)
In my case, Fonts also takes the longest time to load (about 7 seconds 
for a couple hundred fonts).


Thanks,
Don.

RE: FM 7.2 starts much slower than 7.1

2006-05-19 Thread Phil Heron
Framers,

I think the new fonts supplied with Frame 7.2 (and 7.1) could do with better 
documentation.

When I received my FM7.2 upgrade I knew it was supplied with a new set of fonts 
so I looked on the CD but couldn't find them anywhere.

After inspecting my FM7.2 installation I found them all lurking in \Program 
Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.2\fminit\fonts\Adobe.

I then attempted to install the fonts from there using the Windows Fonts 
control panel. After some puzzlement I eventually realised they were Private 
Fonts which could only be used in FM 7.2. They are clearly loaded by FM during 
program startup and thus lead to the extended startup time.

I also eventually discovered that the only way to access the full set of font 
variations was by setting up paragraph styles.
And finally, to embed the fonts in my Acrobat documents, I found I had to go 
the Font Locations dialog in Distiller and update the incorrect path to these 
private fonts.

Why couldn't the FM 7.2 New Features PDF not say something like:

FM 7.2 comes with a set of high-quality OpenType fonts. They are loaded during 
application startup and are then available for use in your FrameMaker 
documents. You cannot use them in your Windows applications.

However, now I know how to use these fonts, thankyou to Adobe for including 
them!

I just timed my machine (Pentium M, so a bit slower). Mine takes 52
seconds to start FM, with about 40 of that being spent on "Fonts". This
with 448 fonts, a mix of TT and PS. 
FM7.0 takes 10 seconds.
