JSI Tip 1110. How do I adjust Windows NT to handle very large character sets (fonts)?
March 1, 1999
If you regularly manipulate many very (very) large character sets, you may wish to tune the FontCache.
Note: Altering the FontCache can significantly influence the amount of memory used by Windows NT.
The FontCache key is located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionFontCache
Note: The following Value Names are all type REG_DWORD entries and have a range of 0x0 - 0xFFFFFFFF KiloBytes.
Value Name | Default (KB) | D e s c r i p t i o n |
---|---|---|
MaxSize | 0x80 (128) | Maximum amount of address space reserved for each font cache. |
MinIncrSize | 0x4 | Mimimum amount of memory committed each time the system increases the size of a font cache. |
MinInitSize | 0x4 | Minimum amount of memory initially committed for each font cache when the cache is allocated. |
