All-

 

Apologies if the question should go to another list – let me know if so.

 

I am using texexec with MSPMincho on a Japanese utf-8 document. I followed the instructions and it appears to work well.

 

Texexec runs several passes, and on each pass spends a *long* time integrating each font “page”. I get many lines saying:

 

{<path to enc>/MSPMinchoXX.enc}<<path to tt>/MSPMincho.ttf>

 

The time taken in this process is many times that of the rest of the conversion. The resulting PDF font properties lists “MS-PMincho (Embedded Subset), Type: TrueType, Encoding: Built-in” 75 times. I imagine that I am glad that the whole font is not included (for file size). However, during development it is painful to wait.

 

Is there a way to optimize the process?

 

Thanks,

-Bryant
