I have finally gotten past all the Font Service crashes and added my collections in batches. They are currently added as 3 separate collections, OTF Library, TTF Library and Type1 Library.
When selecting one of these libraries to peruse, the app becomes sluggish and takes a while to display the fonts in the collection. I have timed the events individually, below are the approximate results (I counted in my head)...
OTF Library - 9217 Fonts - ~10 seconds to activate - 1.08 seconds per 1000 fonts
TTF Library - 39538 Fonts - ~21 seconds to activate - .53 seconds per 1000 fonts
Type1 Library - 8045 Fonts - ~11 seconds to activate - 1.36 seconds per 1000 fonts
So you're saying that this took 42 seconds for over 50,000 fonts correct.
42 seconds is that for the first font data base build or every startup?
