You should perhaps have remembered that ProPage caches its fonts on disk, which makes on-screen rendering very fast after a character has been drawn for the first time. PageStream, on the other hand, does not and so has to render from the main font files wherever a bitmap equivalent is not available. The fact that PS uses Bullet technology makes little difference, since it is still a lot slower than rendering direct from the cached bitmaps. Even with PS's Bullet technology, ProPage is very much faster at times (using non-cached fonts). Mike (Whapping from the UK)
