Should that be "much slower than C but faster than Script"?
In which case, what happened to the "faster than script" part?

Hello all,
Yes, we discussed this topic in August's Problem Solving session. The stack
presented supports text-to-speech in all platforms (including Linux and
Web).
Kind regards,

Or slower than both? As I understand it, LCB has the capability to call C
externals which themselves would be faster than anything, but on it's own it is
slower than both.

I read a blog some years back why it is so difficult to get nything on Windows
to look like it does on the Mac. It is true that Windows renders fonts
differently that Mac, so "exactly the same" remains the realm of the imagined.
But you can get close. My big issue was that using Arial, labels th
For what it's worth, ever since my Master's thesis with LiveCode/RunRev, I
have always set up buttons with fonts the way I want them on whatever
platform, imported snapshots of those buttons, and used those images as
buttons.
No stress, No mess!

Fantastic, thank you both. You've saved me hours of time.

As a typed language, LCB should be more efficient than LCS.
Writing programs in LCB is more difficult and time consuming (bogs...) than
using higher level language (LCS)
You can write exactly the same functions, commands in LCB than in LCS

Um, no.
There are quite a few pain points trying to determine the differences in
what is supported and what is different.

Look no further than comparing the JSON library written in LCB and LCS
(PhotonJSON). I’m thinking that the LCS is probably faster. Probably worth a
shot to actually test in more detail. I tried to import the smartcrumbs output
with the external, LCB and LCS and only the LCS even was successfu
That's great for buttons. I'd like to implement something for all objects. My
goal is to be able to offer the end user a way to change their "motif" with a
single click. Imagine being able to set the properties of an object designated
as a "class object", the object then getting a propertyChange
Oooh thanks Tom.

See, this is the exact reason why I would love to be able to employ an OOP

objects could change the entire project's look and feel in a matter of a second

Consulting the dictionary would have helped me (in this case!):

should give me what I need to make precise comparisons of how the various
operating (iterating?!!!) systems will render my fonts. I will report back
Interesting idea, Richard, to use images for all
Did a simple test with 819kb json file:
- JSON Library / LCB 5400 ms
- PhotonJSON / LCS 400 ms

That's impressive. Monte's external is written in C, so that's as close
to bare metal as we're gonna get.

Like any other OOP system. By providing a way to instance an object from the
class, and then modify the parameters if necessary. Not saying it wouldn’t take
code. But the code would not be difficult to implement.

Imagine right-clicking on the card, getting. Menu, field, button, grid, widget.
Next level, named instance of a predefined class. Code drops the field then
registers the object with the class object. Now the class object knows which
objects to modify.

Yep. Fortunately LibreOffice is pretty easy to automate from python.
