Hi alan The missing subpage rendering is now fixed - at least on Windows. This turned out to be a wxWidgets bug which I have reported http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/17013 and put some workarounds in place.
I will look at the optimisations to speed up rendering as soon as I can. Phil On 30 May 2015 at 20:29, Phil Rosenberg <p.d.rosenb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Alan > Thanks for that.
