[v8i] MicroStation Word Processor takes a long time to load when trying to edit a .rsc font.

Is there a way to make the text in the word processor show up in a standard font (not .rsc) so that it doesn't have to convert the .rsc font to a temporary true type font every time you edit the text? This happens the first time you edit text in a MicroStation session, but it can take up to a minute to open the word processor, and users sometimes think that the program is hung up.

  • Henk,

    I took a look at the MS_TMP folder, which happens to be a local c:\ drive folder, with no limitations (write access). The font in question is there (BOLD.ttf), so it's not getting deleted after each MicroStation session. I do notice that the file size is significantly bigger than the other ttf files in this folder. I tried deleting the file and re-creating it (it gets re-created by just using the edit command in MicroStation), but I get the same results. The first edit takes a minute or more to get into the editor, after that it works fine. I guess it has to do with the font and the fact that it is a larger size than other similar files (about 10 times larger than the others, 2,133 kb).

    If this becomes a serious issue with the users, I will have them add the alternative font variable. I knew there was one, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I wish there was a list of all variables somewhere.....

    Thanks,
    Chris
