That was true for P200MMX, 128 Mb RAM, RH 6.0, kernel 2.2.16, XFree86 3.3.6
On weekend, I installed 325 Type1, all TrueType fonts borrowed from
Win2000 plus some bitmap fonts installed by XFree 4.0.2.
Now I have the following machine:
PIII 667, 256 Mb RAM, RH 6.2, kernel 2.2.16, XFree 4.0.2
and...
COMPLETE SUCCESS!
For the record:
PageMaker at startup does
CreateFont
SelectObject
GetTextMetrics
for every font returned to it by EnumFonts.
I don't know, what component has become the crucial part of success: a more
powerful
machine or XFree 4.0.2. On the first computer while PageMaker enumerates fonts,
even
mouse is not moveable, and sometimes (approximately every 4th run) PageMaker is
able
to finish its startup.
