I found there is a "registering fonts" prompt when starting up pdfviewer, and the font selection also felt much slower. I think the font rarely change, do we need to refresh fonts every time?
Can I delete some fonts I will not use? |

Font selection is slower, since we have to rasterize all characters in different fonts to show how fonts look like. You can modify kpdf.sh to remove Kindle built-in fonts (commenting out mount and umount lines). Last edited by dpavlin; 05-29-2012 at 12:18 PM. Reason: Explain slower font selection |

Actually I'm using kindle fonts. I customized a Chinese font and replaced one kindle font, and I'm using it in kindlepdfviewer for Chinese support. I'm also using PMN Caecilia LT for mobi and epub, which should be kindle font too.
So I was thinking if I can remove some non-kindle fonts... Quote:

You can however, turn off display on font faces in font dialog if that's your major objection. Use grep 'Fonts Menu' *.lua and modify all lines which look like Code:
menu_title = "Fonts Menu", Code:
menu_title = "Fonts Menu ", Hope this helps. |

It's a bit buggy anyway. In general, it works properly, but i've already observed that repeating the font selection procedure several times in a raw causes kpdf to crash. ATM, I has no clue about the reasons... Probably, some issue with the memory allocation. Last edited by NuPogodi; 05-30-2012 at 02:18 AM. |

Without this fix, the font selection procedure (4th in a raw) just crashed kpdf so i could immediately restart it. Your fix seems to help avoiding immediate crash, but... after several cfont-changes (4 or 5) each next call of the 'Font Menu' was just slower, much slower and even slooower... finally, my K3 became totally frozen (or i need a patience exceeding 3-4 minutes) so that i've had no other choice except for rebooting K3 with a slider. I've tried this method to freeze the device at least twice - both times successfully. Well, I#ve tested it mostly for curiosity, since no one needs to select fonts 5-6 times in a raw.

I'll look into this this evening (which is about 8 hours away over here). It's funny enough that a simple rename would fix this. I guess it's a bug upon freeing the glyph data when it gets thrown out of the cache, potentially also a memory leak.

p.s. We should really move topics like this to issue tracker instead of spamming forum with development details. |

Thanks, if the fonts are needed, I can just accept current case. I'll not change file browser font often, so it's ok even the font selection is slower. The reading font selection is not that slow.

I tried several file browser font selection when I first installed the new version, the app lost response. I waited a long time. It seemed that if I press keys too fast(actually not too fast) the app will just lost response.

The thread will have off topic discussion any way. Though I think there should be a better, more thorough wiki when the version stabilized. |
