Hi all-
I recently noticed that there is a marked speed difference between rendering
time when use custom fonts and when I do not. If I run the transform in
question with a stock 0.95 build and no configuration file given, it will
produce the finished PCL (31 page document) file in about 33 seconds.
Unfortunately, the fonts on my system (AIX 5.3, Java 1.4) have problems such
that when I use a variety of character formatting (bold, italic, bold italic)
specifying a default font like Times, the spacing between words of different
formatting is completely wrong and unusable. I fixed this by providing my own
ttf font files and the document looks great. Unfortunately, when I provide my
own fonts, the rendering time goes up to nearly 3 minutes.
Anyone have any thoughts on why the rendering time is affected so drastically
or what I might do to speed things up?
Thanks,
Dave
