FC2R2 font paths

Why doesn't FC2R2 use relative references to the font directory? I have my tooltype set as FONTDRAWER=fcfonts/swolfonts and feel that the full path should not be saved in the document (i.e. volume name, etc.). It would be easier to transfer documents among varying system setups. On another matter, you stated about 2 weeks ago that printing was faster than 1.3.2 with this release. My printing time has increased since I moved from 1.3.2 up to FC2 – from about 38 secs to 60-65 using the same document in both versions. Is there something that needs to be set differently between the versions to see the faster print speeds? Thanks, Fred

Fred, I don't recall ever stating that printing was faster or slower than another time. However, due to the sometimes late-night Compu$erving I do, it's possible that there are a lot of things I've said that I won't remember. Please accept my apologies for this inaccuracy. The only tips are: a) faster CPU, b) more RAM (in printer, especially), and c) printing to Postscript (definitely the fastest). Thanks for the relative font path suggestion. I'll bring it up at work.
