I didn't know that it would slow down the process that much, but I could imagine that people who want to use "empty" fonts would sacrifice those couple of optional seconds to get better results (an additional \ifuserwanttodothatelse would probably slow down the process as well :). However, I don't know how to do that anyway, so I would redefine those commands manually in that case (already happened a couple of times, although at first I had no idea what to do).
tests can be made fast (enough) but we need to keep in mind that definitions of characters have to (fully) expand differently depending on the circumstances so testing a combination of {language,none}{font,none}{encoding,default} is doable but needs some thinking Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
