Win 7 update "slow performance" relating to the font cache

For those of you having font, slow print and/or PDF problems on Win 7 (or Win2008 Server), both x86 and x64:
I just came across an MS support posting about a hotfix that  might *** emphasis MIGHT *** be of interest to you.
The specific reason is that the hotfix includes an update to our old friend "fntcache.dll" that FM definitely does use.
Disclaimer: I am not an Adobe representative. I do not speak for Adobe.  I have no specific knowledge whether this might indeed affect FM or of which version(s) of FM it might apply to.  I have not tested this myself. If you install this hotfix you are completely on your own. As always, please ensure you have adequate backups.
IMPORTANT NOTE: please do take notice of the "Known Issue" section in the description, saying "After you install ... a second hotfix for an updated version of another driver may be necessary".
If any of you do test this, would you kindly post back here with your results either way.

  • Rebuilding the font cache on OS X

    I have been having some font issues. Not too long ago, I went through my fonts on font book and started resolving duplicates. I did 'accidently' delete some fonts, but I don't think I deleted anything crucial.
    So far I've been experiencing 2 problems.
    1) Macromedia Flash MX isn't displaying all my fonts. It said to follow the instructions on this website:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16763
    Basically, it was instructions to rebuild your font cache, but I couldn't find the files they were looking for (com.apple.FCacheLocalDomain, com.apple.FCacheClassicDomain, com.apple.FCacheUserDomain)
    2) When I click on a message in Apple Mail, the top of the e-mail gets cut off. I'm not sure if it's a font issue or something else.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Catherine

    Hi Catherine,
    Font Finagler will remove all font cache files for you. Though you may need to remove the cache files for Microsoft Office manually. They are located at:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.browserfont.cache
    ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
    The tilde (~) indicates your user account.

  • Where are the font caches located?

    Trying to trash my font caches but cant find them.

    It moves to the Trash all font cache.
    Not quite. It clears any and all cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode. It doesn't do anything to the system cache files.
    All font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501 (Mac OS X v10.4 or later)
    I know that info came from one of Apple's own Knowledge Base articles, but it's completely out of date. The user font cache files haven't been in that location since Tiger. All font cache files (along with Font Book's database) are now deeply buried in a hidden folder. Part of the name may be different from Mac to Mac, but they are now here:
    /private/var/folders/3K/3Kdt7kk4Ghim10j+GZwim++++TI/-Caches-/com.apple.FontRegis try/
    Don't try and edit anything in here yourself. Use the command below to clear font cache files.
    Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

  • Slow performance while loading the reports while previewing the report in sql server data tools

    Hi there,
    I am facing a weird issue where I am able to load and view deployed report in report manager in no time (in a second) but the same report is taking almost two minutes for preview
    Around 2500 records are to be displayed in it.
    My report shows two area charts.

    Hi Manisha,
    When previewing a report, Report Designer need connect to the report data sources, run dataset queries, cache the data on the local computer, process the report to combine data and layout, and render the report. The report processor also runs all the queries
    for datasets in the report using the current parameter defaults, and saves the results as a local data cache (.rdl.data) file.
    The first time that previewing a report that relies on a server reference. In your scenario, you can try to improve preview performance through the link below:

    Hope this helps.

  • My Elements 11 software is really running slow, typically I clean the media cache files and that clears it up. Now I open the media cach file and there is nothing there. That can't be right.

    Hello? Anybody out there?

    Ordinarily Photoshop Elements questions get referred to the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum here.
    But, I will put my Photoshop Elements hat on and give you the answer that I think (almost sure) will work for you.
    Here goes. If it does not work, then back to the Premiere Elements hat.
    Click on the Lasso Tool in the Photoshop Elements 11 Expert workspace. Look to the bottom of the workspace, to the Lasso
    option panel. Make sure that the "Feather" is set at 0. The following is a screenshot when I had the Feather set greater than
    0 and I made a relatively small selection with the Lasso Tool.
    So, explore Feather 0 or Feather greater but larger selection. Consider Feather = 0.
    Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
    Thanks.

  • Does Apple accept ideas from others for updates on the iPhone? I think it would be cool to have an update where we can change the font on our phone

    It would be awesome if we could personalize our phone!

    No, they don't. If you wish to, you can provide feedback at Apple Feedback.

  • Fonction HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION very slow performance in bacth job

    Hi all experts!
    Does any one having a problem with slow performance while using the fonction HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION and running in batch mode for a big population of data ?
    I have tried to use          
        nocommit         = 'X' as parameter in the fonction HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION
    and calling after each update.
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
          EXPORTING
            wait = 'X'.
    And the performance is very long.
    I also remarque that if we run for a small population like less than 500 employees then it finish within 20 mins. But If I ran for a polulation of 5000 employees then it take more than 6 hours = 3600 mins. ?
    Thanks for your answer.
    Hugo Nguyen

    Call Function module 'HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE' After each call to HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION.
    Refer [link|http://brookshireconsulting.com/technical_update.html] for more information.
    I have tried it my own and it do improve the performance,.
    Hope this improves the performace for you as well.

  • My Mac has been suffering a slow performance, lagging and often froze. One source recommends using Onyx. Is that a trustable source?

    I have a Macbook Pro OS X Version 10.9.4. Processor speed of 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, memory of 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and storage capacity of 203.51 GB out of 319.21 GB. I have been experiencing very slow performance and sometimes the screen will froze. The spinning wheel is very common and long. I have try to delete as many things as i could from my computer, restarting it but to no avail. One source suggests me to use Onyx. Would that help to solve my problem?

  • How can I reset the font type and size on my email. It changed after I updated to Firefox 5.0 and I can't get it back.

    After updating to Firefox 5.0 the font changed on my email. I checked, and the default setting is what I had put in before the update but it's not working. How can I get my email to use the font and type size that I chose? The one that's currently being used (since after the update) is so tiny one can hardly see it. My email program is through yahoo but there doesn't seem to be a way to change it at the email site. I'm not terribly PC savvy so please respond with a detailed/explicit answer. Thanks for any help you can give me with this. I have Windows XP and use Firefox as my browser.

    Hi again...,,yes, I did try the "reset zoom" on the email compose message page and nothing happened. I'm not familiar with add-ons. Went to the address you suggested (DefaultFullZoomLevel) but don't know how to use it. Also, I don't want to enlarge the text on all web pages.....just the email page. By the way, if it makes a difference, I think I forgot to mention that I use AT&T/Yahoo webmail....not Outlook Express or Thunderbird or any other email program. I'm not familiar with those and don't want to change email programs. Thanks again for trying to help with this. I'm beginning to think this problem is "unfixable" and considering changing back to a previous edition of Firefox (IF that's even possible).

  • Relation between the Height in Pixels and Font Size?

    Hi All,
    I wanted to find the relation between the Font Size and the Pixels that it will occupy. What i want to do is i have an Icon and a Label. The icon size i need to resize to the Half the height of the Label. But the font Size does not reflect the height in Pixels. Please can you help me find the right way to resize the Icon?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Sameer

    FontMetrics fm = label.getFontMetrics( label.getFont() );Once you have the font metrics you can use the getHeight() method.

  • How can we reset the SAP cache for users roaming profile in a d?

    Our active directory is on windows server 2003.
    SAP version 6.40
    users work from different workstations in our company with their roaming profile.
    printouts are defined by assigning a printer to the terminal (usually the closest terminal to theprinter)
    we have some users who have logined to windows, are unable to print to the assigned printer, because the name of the terminal is stuck on another terminal they worked on before.
    we think that the the cache in SAP does not update properly.
    Where is the SAP cache, is it in the server, or the workstation, or the user profile?
    Can anyone help?
    Robyn

    all configurations of the printers are correct.
    I will try and explain the problem differently:
    In general If a user logs on to SAP, we will see in tc al08 the username and terminal the user is working from. (The terminal is the full computer name e.g. WS-KITCHEN).
    When a user with the problem logs on to SAP, we will see in tc al08 the username and the name of a terminal he worked from in the past and not the work station he is at present. Therefore his printouts go to the printer that is allocated to the terminal that he worked on before and not the WS-KITCHEN he is working on now.
    Thanks
    Robyn

  • Why all the Font Explorer X server requests?

    I recently upgraded to the paid version of Font Explorer, Linotype's Font Explorer Pro X 3.1, on my Macbook Pro running OSX10.6. Every time I launch the app, it goes through a 3-5 minute process where it gives me the following "Connection failed" modal dialog error about 10 times:
    "The server (remote server name here) may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    The server being mentioned is my Mac Pro, which does not (or should not) have any bearing on what Font Explorer X is doing. I have no idea why it needs to access that computer.
    I get these messages even when the Macbook is running on the same network with the Mac Pro actually connected and files from that machine open on the Mabook's desktop.
    These messages never happened with the free version of Font Explorer X, so I'm at a complete loss as to what's going on. I deleted all files related to Font Explorer, including the .plist preference file and the Linotype folder in Application Support, AND I cleaned the font cache. I re-installed Font Explorer X 3.1 after emptying the trash, rebooting and clearing the PRAM. It went through all the normal motions of setup, indicating that it was a completely clean install. But again it goes through that impossible process every time I launch the app. What gives? Does anyone have any ideas?

    Have you tried contacting the developer of the software your using, this is the Apple forum.
