[FIXED] Editing glyphs is extremely slow with a very large font

FontCreator - Font Editor FontCreator - Bug Reports

With my very large BabelStone Han font (64,000 glyphs), editing glyphs in FontCreator 15 is extremely slow compared with FontCreator 13. If I select a point or a component and hit an arrow key to move it or the delete key to remove it, then it takes about 4 seconds before anything happens (undo/redo also takes about 4 seconds each). This compares with about a second or less on FontCreator 13, and instantaneous for a smaller font (5,500 glyphs) on both FontCreator 13 and 15. The 4 second delay for each glyph editing operation makes it impractical to edit my very large font with FontCreator 15, so I wonder if there is anything that could be done to eliminate or reduce the glyph editing delay?

Do give this update a try:

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for the prompt response. This build is much better, with the delay reduced to about 1.5 seconds. It’s not perfect, but I can probably live with it.
