No. Type the following from a Shell window to activate the Fonts cache: • makedir FONTS:_Cache • setenv ENVARC:diskfont “cache=yes” Reboot, and you’re all done. Thomas Richter adds: “The first font requester or the next FixFonts will create the cache. This first call will be as slow as it used to be since the cache does then not yet exist, but all following calls will make use of the cache.” Also ensure that you’re not patching diskfont.library from MCP or any other software.
