On a Windows 7 Enterprise machine running as a regular user on a domain, I'm finding that opening even modestly large files takes an enormous amount of time. On my other computers a file that opens in seconds takes over 6.5 minutes to load. Once it's loaded it seems to be okay.
I notice there's CPU and IO activity in a sub-process called FontService.exe. The other thing I've noticed is that the FontDatabase folder appears to be directly accessed from the network .msprofile/AppData/Roaming/Corel/FontDatabase location. There doesn't appear to be any locally cached copy. I'm wondering if the slow times have to do with slow activity over the network. Our network is a gigabit network, but I imagine if there are many small accesses latency could cause this problem.
Is this likely the case? If so, how do I solve it? Is there any way to force CorelDraw to cache a local copy on my SSD? There does appear to be another copy under C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8\FontDatabase but the modification dates don't change and are very old (probably install times?). As a limited user, I have no writes to modify this folder directly.
Thanks!
Start CorelDRAW create a new document, select text tool. select font drop down, select tool that looks like a funnel it's the filter control, scroll to font status, select installed and protected system. Click on the page, then go to tools options, document click save options for defaults for new documents.
On old files you may need to make the choice for the filter and save the file or save as.
Can I assume that the user runs CD locally with full administrative rights, accessing files from the domain server from folders (including the fonts folder) in which the user has full admin rights?
I have never had any luck with any graphics application that did not have full admin privileges on a domain.
