Hi all,
calling fontloader.to_table() appears to be redundant when
extracting font names, see the attached patch. On my system I
measured 42 (patched) vs 59 (vanilla) seconds for rebuilding the
entire index:
mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force
The resulting index is -- except for the uuid, naturally --
identical in both cases.
Okay.
In fact this fullinfo was meant as temporary hack because
fontloader.info should return these values (and might at some time).
In the meantime delayed loading was introduced which is why:
function fontloader.fullinfo(...) -- lazy loading anyway
local ff = fontloader.open(...)
if ff then
return ff
else
return nil, "error in loading font"
end
end
also could work ok (in fact, the explicit glyphs = nil in the current
variant assumes the old loader and has the speed impact you notice
because it now first loads all glyphs and next discards them)
Okay, in practice we need something like this:
function fontloader.fullinfo(...) -- lazy loading anyway
local ff = fontloader.open(...)
if ff then
local d = { } -- ff is userdata so [1] or # fails on it
setmetatable(d, { __index = ff })
return d
else
return nil, "error in loading font"
end
end
because I check for [1] or # in case of a ttc font which fails on the ff
userdata table. This variant is somewhat more in tune with the 'full'
aspect.
Thanks for noticing,
Hans
