Hi,
since I switched from LaTeX to ConTeXt I am wondering why ConTeXt (actually pdfeTeX,
Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) \write18 enabled) gets so extremely slow when
I use my own PostScript font.
Here is my little statistics (ConTeXT with default/my font - the same in LaTeX):
1) \starttext
W619Q
\stoptext
(5 seconds)
2) \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond]
\usetypescript[AGaramond]
\setupencoding[default=ec]
\setupbodyfont[AGaramond,10.5pt]%
\starttext
W619Q
\stoptext
(12 seconds)
3) \documentclass{book}
\begin{document}
W619Q
\end{document}
(less then 1 second)
4) \documentclass[pdftex]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage[scaled,osf]{xagaramon}
\begin{document}
W619Q
\end{document}
(1 second)
So it's 12 seconds compared to 5 seconds (or just 1 with LaTeX).
Is this normal?
Do I have a good chance that my typescript (see below) could be speeded up,
or is this -unfortunately- the regular way ConTeXt deals with PostScript fonts?
I'd be very happy for any help,
Steffen
