Good explanation. Thanks, Paul. I can easily understand how turning off all copies of my unused fonts can be worthwhile, perhaps reducing RAM footprint, time to build font menus, etc. But, considering the priority scheme described above, it is not clear to me why there is a benefit to resolving duplicated fonts (that is, turning off all but one copy of the fonts I do use). And yet, this is often recommended. -- Julian Vrieslander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
