Hello,
I noticed that my OOo always hangs for a while when I want to select a font from the tool bar's scroll list. It seems to take a very long time to read the information from the Asian fonts (several Unicode, Japanese and Chinese ttf). Is does not only happen when I go through the list the first time, but also when I do a second or third font selection. Is there any method to make it faster? I am using OOo 1.0 and SuSE 8.0. My RAM is 500 MByte.
Most probably this is related to this issue: http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/xfs.html [...] As the X server is not multi-threaded, it appears to hang while it renders fonts. This is especially noticeable when large fonts, e.g. Asian fonts are rendered. During that time you can't do anything and having to wait several minutes until all the fonts in a Asian web page are rendered can be extremely annoying.
