Subject: How to specify font name in resource files. (wildcards)


Out of curiousity, how many fonts were you using for your program
which you sped up so much?  I have never noticed wildcards causing me
inordinate amounts of time on startup.  However, if your application
required a large number of fonts, then I suppose that could cause a
slowdown. But your time figures surprise me nonetheless.
