Well, the slow-fonts problem is the last real one... at least, for 2005. 2008 has too many random crashes. And, vbaide also crash often in 2005, and you must be careful with lisp ide too : if you open it, open help inside it, close lisp ide and then try to close lisp help, it hangs. So, don't forget to close lisp help when lisp ide is opened. BTW I'm developing a large lisp app with strong automation usage and it works perfectly. For the TT fonts I developed a small app that substitutes all TT on drawing with non-tt fonts, saving previous state on drawing itself. So, I run NOTT when I start working on my drawing, and another NOTT to restore original fonts just before sending to customers. With no true type fonts in action autocad 2005 is even faster than in windows xp. About the slow TT problem... I did some investigations, and it seems to do many unnecessary font calls (reading metrics too many times, for example) but I have no time yet to go deeper. I'd put it to platinum without that one..... Ciao Max
