Today I stripped out my .emacs and started again. The culprit seems to be my font selection? (set-default-font "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1") takes about 12 seconds to load (set-default-font "fontset-standard") ;; takes about 5 secs I really don't recall there being any significant delay prior to this? It seemed to load instantaneously? Its more of a nuisance than anything, but I am curious if something has changed. Any suggestions please? TIA -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk
