Font loading when starting Acrobat - Acrobat hangs

Question

I have the problem of a kind of "hang-up" of Acrobat 9 when opening a file. Actually this problem started with Acrobat 6 or 5 I think and I have not found a solution or a reason why. Also I did stopped searching for solutions some time ago and tried to live with this feature of Acrobat.
Today I started searching again and found this here:

I investigated some time in verifying that the font loading is causing my problem.
This is what happens:
- Acrobat is not running. I open a PDF file. Acrobat starts, the file is opening after a few seconds, fast enough. After 10 seconds or so the application hangs and does not react. A second tab is opening and when you look into the task manager you see that csrss.exe is running with 50% CPU usage on top of Acrobat with the remaining 50%. After - it seems a long time, like leaning back and having a cup of coffee - the system comes back an one can work with the PDF file just like normal.
- When you just close the file and not Acrobat as such and open a new file, the hang-up does not occur.
- Only when you close Acrobat and open a new file it happens again.
My work-around after knowing this - after a few years of searching - is to to start Acrobat on booting the PC by putting the application into autostart and never close it during the day.
I can not uninstall fonts. I need them all.
Now the question: Is there anything new on this subject? Is there a way to disable font loading when starting Acrobat?
I have tried some of the speed-up tools, that disable some plug-ins. They do not help.
Thanks for some feedback and may be a better solution than mine.
(If only Acrobat would load the fonts first, tell me it is loading the fonts and how long this takes, and then open the file I need to read - this would be nice ... )

Answer 1

I use XP Pro and have the same problem on other computers with XP Pro.
For the fun of it I un-installed Acrobat 9 and re-installed and - surprise surprise. No hang-up. Just perfect.
I started and closed Acrobat several times and every time I think the hang-up, that used to be a minute and more before re-installing - is a little longer. At least it feels like.
I remember I had the same observation when I upgraded to Acrobat 9. But a few days later the hang-up was there again.
I will observe ... and keep you updated.
I am using type 1 and true type fonts and Adobe Type manager to manage ma many fonts.
On page display I have "use local fonts" checked. I don't see a difference, when I un-check.
Ideas to solve the issue are aprreciated
