also, mem consumption reported is a bit of a lie because lua seems to allocates double of what it needed with each increment but not always use it
otf fonts are already quite packed in mkiv (i'm considering adding an option to mtx-font to precache fonts but i'm not sure if it's worth the trouble
is mem consumption less a second run?
Yes, dramatically less. with 4 chinese fonts loaded (I use zhfonts.tex for testing), MKIV consumes 300-400MB.
on my machine running mk with a fresh cache gives the same lua mem usage as with filled cache, however a fresh run tops at 1 meg while a filled run tops ar 500 (windows vista); that document uses several cjk fonts (relatively large due to many glyphs) and script fonts (some arabic and zapfino as well as cambria math which are much larger fonts due to many features mkiv lua stats : loaded fonts - adobesongstd-light:otf arabtype:ttf c:/windows/fonts/cambria:ttc htfs:ttf htsong:ttf ko eieletters:afm lmex10:tfm lmmi10:tfm lmmib10:tfm lmmono10-regular:otf lmmonoltcond10-regular:otf lmroman10-italic:otf lmroman10-regu lar:otf lmroman12-regular:otf lmsans10-regular:otf lmsy10:tfm lmtypewriter10-regular:otf msam10:tfm msbm10:tfm palatinoltarabic-regu lar:ttf rm-lmbx10:tfm rm-lmr10:tfm rm-lmr12:tfm rm-lmr8:tfm rm-lmtt10:tfm scheherazaderegot:ttf texnansi-lt55484:afm texnansi-lt5548 5:afm texnansi-lt55488:afm texnansi-lt55507:afm zapfinoextraltpro:otf mkiv lua stats : current memory usage - 361 MB (ctx: 370 MB) (keep in mind that at some point luatex has to load the glyph shapes and pass them to the pdf file so there will always be otf/pfb loading at the end of a run) as taco mentioned, real memory usage for a fresh run is probably somewhat lower due to fragmentation ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
