Acroread 9.1.0 reads the full directory tree /usr/share/fonts

Hi,
I was wondering why the startup time of acroread is that high on my system (Debian 5.0). I have found out using strace that acroread reads the full content of the /usr/share/fonts/ directory tree (more than 4000 files) during startup in a quite inefficient way.
First question: why does it read /usr/share/fonts during startup at all and is there a way to disable that behaviour?
Second question follows: the ext3 requires that an application reading the full content of a directory should sort the file list numerically by inode number before opening the files. It is explained in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417 why the application should be fixed and not the kernel. Can acroread be changed to qsort() the file list between the calls of readdir() and open()?
Cheers,
Torsten

Hello Torsten,
Thanks for reporting the issue. Could you please let us know if you are opening acroread with a file(either by double clicking on it or giving it as a parameter to acroread). If yes, could you please see if launch time is still high when you do not open a file(launch acroread by clicking on the Desktop icon or launch it from console). Also, it would be helpful if you can mail the strace output to sanika at adobe dot com.
As for reading the location, it is one of the standard font locations mentioned in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. If you do not want acroread to use these fonts, you can set ACRO_DISABLE_FONT_CONFIG to 1 on console.
If you do not want to set this variable every time you launch reader, you can search for "ACRO_DISABLE_FONT_CONFIG" in the launch script, uncomment the relevant section and save the script.
However, I should warn you that Reader would not be able to use these fonts to display PDFs(substitute fonts would be used instead).
Sincerely,
Sanika

  • Nokia 6700: how to read the full E-mail??

    Hi there,
    When I am browsing the internet with my Nokia 6700 I can use the navigation key to scroll up, down, left and right. But when I am reading my E-mails. I can only scroll up or down, so I can not read the text which is on the right side of the E-mail... I have tried to change the settings (640 x 480 etc.), but the E-mail appearance did not change, nor did the size of the letters.
    Does anyone know how I can change this?? It is kind of anoying that I am not able to read the full E-mail...
    Thanx!

    As you guess, it is stored in the PSD, but only with the Maximise Compatibility switch. Without that switch, a dummy image is stored which has the text "This layered Photoshop file was not saved with a composite image.", in English, German, Japanese and French.
    My program
    psdparse extracts each layer in an 8-bit file as a PNG, and the merged image for both 8- and 16-bit files. That link is to a Subversion repository containing source code.

  • Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages

    Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages. With previous versions everything worked fine. The only way to read the full text is to answer the mail. Thank you for your help. Regards.

    Close out of the mail app.  Double tap the home button, find the mail app hold down until you see the red minus sign and hit that.   then go back into the mail app and open an email you should now be able to read the full content of the email.

  • Adobe reader 9.3.3 : can't read the full trust chain of GlobalSign certificate

    Customer's can't see properly their PDF bills certificated with a CDS compliant GlobalSign certificate. The full trust chain can't be read in the document.
    Information of what can see several customers opening their bills
    In the certificate dialog box we only can see ONE information of the trust chain
    In my dialog box we can see the whole trust chain

    The pb is due to a wrong installation of the certificate for signing document.

  • How to read the 'full resolution composite' from a .psd file?

    I'm working with 16-bit .psd files and have the "maximize compatibility" switch turned on in CS2. When a file is saved, a message box appears indicating that PS is generating a "full resolution composite." I'd guess this is stored in the .psd file somehow, because some of the 3rd party image viewers are able to display the image when the compatibility switch is used, but are unable to display the image otherwise.
    My question is: how can I read this full resolution composite from the .psd file outside of Photoshop?
    If this is the wrong forum to post this question, I'd appreciate it of you'd tell me a better place.
    Thanks,
    Dave H.

  • Reading the Installation directory from Registry

    Dear All,
    Wondering if it is possible somehow to read a path from system register and use that path as an installation (destination) directory for the application ? This should happen programmatically every time when the user starts the installation of the application with the Setup.exe.
    Tried to figure out how to set up such dynamic path in the "Destinations"-view of the Installer, but couldn't. Perhaps I should write with LabVIEW my own "Setup-launcher", that reads the path from register and uses that value as an argument with the actual Setup.exe. Has anyone out there succeeded in doing something like this ?

  • URLConnection.getInputStream()  not reading the full HTML

    I need code to read a html file after posting a request. The code is as follows:

    Sometimes it works fine. Sometimes it can not read full content.(may be the low network). but i view the source in my browser, I can find it just fine.
    Any ideas? Has anyone encountered this kind of problem?

  • How to read the configuration of tree table from the variant of Personalization of the Tree UIBB?

    Hi Experts !
    I have created an application using  Tree UIBB to display the list output along with personalization property. The user can save the settings of the output table such as shuffling of column position and hiding / display of columns in the variant.
    The export to excel button gives the output as per the current variant but I need to develop a custom export to excel button, on action of which I need to read the currently selected variant and the visble columns from the variant.
    I found that CL_FPM_TREE_ASSISTANCE gets the variant and columns from the personalization object, however, I am unable utilize it in my custom code.
    Please help or suggest any class which I can utilize.
    Thanks !

  • Fileupload issue. Unable to get the full local directory path of the file uploaded

    Fileupload Applet Issue with Firefox 15:
    When uploading a file using our application, file that is being uploaded is hashed using a signed Applet.
    This is working fine in IE and FF version lower than FF15.
    Signed applet needs to hash file contents but it is is unable to read the full path of the uploaded file, and thus failing.
    Applet expects the full path of the file that has been uploaded
    Is there any way to get the full file path?

    Is not a new feature and not really a bug, but rather a security change that they have cleaned up code and removed the ability to use UniversalXPConnect that made it possible in older Firefox versions to get enhanced privileges.<br />
    That is no longer possible, so any code that relies on it will fail silently.<br />
    You will now require an extension to run any code that requires enhanced XPCOM permissions.

  • [Solved] a.out not recognizing the working directory

    It's a little bit embarrassing because this issue doesn't seem terribly complicated, but I'm having trouble with executing the a.out file (Hello World) that gcc produces. I have to explicitly state the directory that a.out is in to run it, even though it's in the working directory. Other programs, such as Nano, recognize the working directory just fine and it is able to open files inside the working directory without having me explicitly state the full directory name.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The easiest and most secure way would be using the relative path to the executable:
    ./a.out
    If you use a single directory for writing/testing your programs, you could add it to your user PATH. Not a major security risk, but if you do so, be careful what executables are in the dir.
    ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile):
    [[ -d ~/cpp ]] && export PATH="$PATH:~/cpp"
    Adding the current working directory to PATH is a security risk, so I wouldn't recommend it.

  • Full Directory option on auto attendant consoles

    Hi All,
    I have been following the guide and there is something that isn't clear. Is the full directory setting  mapped to the ldap settings on the cucm? if i have added a local  user manually on cucm will this not show on the full directory of the auto-attendant console?
    I have already configured the settings on server to sync contacts.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Yes, all End Users (not Application Users) from CUCM should appear in the CUxAC directory provided that it meets any rules you have configured. By default it should pull everything over. This does not happen in realtime so you may need to force a sync, most commonly through a service restart.
