Re: [NTG-context] Speed of texexec with Unicode TrueType Font
Wolfgang-
I can provide an example, but based on Taco's response it is unlikely to be of
benefit.
I have in the past tried more recent releases. I was not able to navigate the
documentation and bugs to get something working.
As this is merely an optimization issue, I can deal with the performance for
now and (once things are all working) evaluate MkIV again in the future.
Thanks,

Can you provide a example.
Have you considered to use MkIV?

I am using texexec with MSPMincho on a Japanese utf-8 document. I
followed the instructions and it appears to work well.
Texexec runs several passes, and on each pass spends a **long** time
integrating each font “page”. I get many lines saying:
{/MSPMinchoXX.enc}
The time taken in this process is many times that of the rest of the
conversion. The resulting PDF font properties lists “MS-PMincho
(Embedded Subset), Type: TrueType, Encoding: Built-in” 75 times. I
imagine that I am glad that the whole font is not included (for file
size). However, during development it is painful to wait.

The pdftex list would have been better, but I think I can answer
anyway.
I am using texexec with MSPMincho on a Japanese utf-8 document. I
followed the instructions and it appears to work well.
Texexec runs several passes, and on each pass spends a *long* time
integrating each font "page". I get many lines saying:
{/MSPMinchoXX.enc}
The time taken in this process is many times that of the rest of the
conversion. The resulting PDF font properties lists "MS-PMincho
(Embedded Subset), Type: TrueType, Encoding: Built-in" 75 times. I
imagine that I am glad that the whole font is not included (for file
size). However, during development it is painful to wait.
Large font support in pdftex is suboptimal: for each encoding block
of 256 characters, it has to reload and re-subset the complete ttf font.
It is unlikely this situation will ever improve, and the best option is
to switch to using one of the two new engines: xetex or luatex. This
will need different font commands from the ones you used for pdftex,
though.
Best wishes,
Taco

[NTG-context] Speed of texexec with Unicode TrueType Font
All-
Apologies if the question should go to another list - let me know if so.
I am using texexec with MSPMincho on a Japanese utf-8 document. I followed the
instructions and it appears to work well.
Texexec runs several passes, and on each pass spends a *long* time integrating
each font "page". I get many lines saying:
{/MSPMinchoXX.enc}
The time taken in this process is many times that of the rest of the
conversion. The resulting PDF font properties lists "MS-PMincho (Embedded
Subset), Type: TrueType, Encoding: Built-in" 75 times. I imagine that I am glad
that the whole font is not included (for file size). However, during
development it is painful to wait.
Is there a way to optimize the process?
Thanks,
