How can I get rid of all of these fonts except last three?

- you can try --mode=*nofonts but keep in mind that this is meant for special cases where styles are loaded immediately on the command line - it will not save much time; eventually we will have opentype lm math anyway; and half of those fonts are small anyway - it will result in errors when you don't immediately load a typeface especially if spacing is being set up - you need a math font because some symbols come from math (like bullets) - delaying math setup would result in way more overhead as then it needs to be set up inside math (and then it happens grouped) - also, reported problems resulting from not having load a base font set are unlikely to be looked into - as i keep optimnizing code, i expect the reported times to drop a bit in the future; - a resident run might save some load time, but this is compensated by the need to reinitialize all subsystems (apart from a mess) - computers will become faster anyway and in most runs the startup time is small compared to the other runtime Hans ps. it's no problem to get a 100-300 page per second througput for stupid documents but anything fancy will drop that to 1-20 pps ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
