I am working on set of fonts with about 850 Glyphs with latest Font Creater,
Lot of reprocess to some of the glyphs are required, I got a feeling that Font Creater is slowing down in copy paste. It was better before (a month ago).
Can I correct this?

Hello Nazim
I’ve not experienced Font Creator slowing down with the number of glyphs in a font necessarily but with the number of points in a particular glyph. Dealing with very complex characters takes a lot longer to process as it apparently recalculates every point.
Similar slowing down occurs when you run Validate as it spends time on each point within a glyph. Sometimes I give up on Validate because the characters are just too big and my computer is just too small.
If you’re only seeing it on this one font, it would be the culprit.
Since it was better a month ago, you can also check to see what else is going on in your computer. Ctl-Alt-Delete should display Windows Task Manager (WinXP) to show what processes are running. Maybe something new is robbing resources.
Good luck.

The slowing behavier started when once I changed Tool, Options, Overview Glyph Width and Glyph Height, I resetted the values to old one. When I Copy 2 Glyph to Clip Board the complete font table refreshes twice before I can Paste and after paste it refreshes twice again.
