Hi, I am working on a project that uses a lot of fonts.
To be more precise. I have an object tree consisting of many small objects that draw themselves to a view. Each object can either use a default font setup or make local variations to the default font setup. By local variations, I mean weight and italic style.
I can now decide to have only one instance of the default fonts and then create local variations, which are stored in each object in the tree. I can also decide to store the local font (variations) globally and make som kind of lookup system. This of course requires a lot more business-logic, and hope to avoid this.
My problem is, that I do not know much a about fonts and how they are handled by the system.
Is a font a large object that requires a lot of memory usage and CPU time for initial loading, etc. ??? or should I just think of it, as an small object pointer.
(my object tree will in average contain about 100-300 objects). I hope someone can help on this.
