Hi all,
I'm so grateful for such an active community on this fabulous program!
Yesterday, I was dealing with fonts; today I'm wondering just what got into
my code. For much of the time I have been working on this file, it's taken
5 - 7 seconds to compile. All of a sudden this morning, it started taking
up to 30 seconds, and I haven't done anything radical. Can someone have a
look at my code and see if there is something really stupid in there that is
slowing me down?
So far, (obviously it's not finished yet) the results are pleasing, and I
realise I have some tweaks to do as I finish up.
