Wayne, Yes those CG fonts are SLOW! But not quite as bad as you have described. Refresh on a page with three columns of 6 point text (my worst case) was about 10-15 seconds on my 030 machine (not too bad), and about 75 seconds on a stock 3meg 2000. But it sure seemed like 10 minutes! You can do two things to make PgS 2.0 more usable on an un accelerated Ami. First run PgS with vscreen. That way you can scroll around the page without it having to be redrawn. Second move all the CG fonts out of the main font directory. Then use only the PgS fonts while you design the page. Since it is the CG font to screen rendering that takes all the time this will restore near 1.8 speed. PgS 2.0 uses outline screen fonts even on PgS fonts in the larger font sizes so it will a little slower than 1.8. When you are near ready to print if you need the higher quality of the CG fonts then use the font manager, add them, and use them. As I understand it "CG font technology" is supplied as a package from Compugraphic. So I don't no where to lay the blame for the slow down. But it sure is nice to know I can finally use any outline font in the Ami, IBM, or MAC (after conversion to IBM format) world on my Ami. And you know Christmas is comming, and maybe Santa will bring you an 030 board, or even an A-3000! -Paul-
