#BIGFONTS
I made a BIGFONT fraction font, similar to the one in the book Customizing
AutoCAD (Rider Press). When I use the font, text operations (MOVE, COPY,
CHANGE, etc.) are unacceptably slow (on a Compaq 386/20 – Artist 10 video)
(many disk read/writes). Is this because BIGFONT's are inherently slow
(should I move the fractions to %%nnn), or because I'm referencing other
characters (code 7's)? I got a message, "Hash table is 69% full. Longest
search was 3." – when I compiled the font. What does that mean? It's not
explained in the Reference Manual. Also, the only way I could remove the
BIGFONT from my STYLE (to go back to just SIMPLEX) was to erase the BIGFONT
SHX file from disk AND rename the STYLE!!! Redefining the style had no
effect. Is there an easier way?
