Slow down speed on text pop-up menu

[jinnyjinny]

I just bought Affinity Photo yesterday.

I'm Korean, and I use Korean version of Windows 10 Pro.

And I installed this program on my lap top.

HP Pavillion Gaming 15-dk0165TX WIN10

CPU : Core i7-9th

RAM : 32GB

HDD : M.2(NVMe) / 256GB

VGA : GTX1660 Ti / VRAM:6GB

I ran this program, and make some text, using Artistic Text tool for testing.

And I tried to change the font type.

I scrolled down on the font list.

But it was getting slow down the moving speed around "M" group,

and then it stopped for a while, and then moved a little bit, and then stopped for a while again.

After this situation was occured, whole program speed also slowed down.

And whole computer speed also slowed down for a while.

I installed this program on another desk top computer which is in my office.

CPU : Intel® Core™ i3-4130

RAM : 16GB

HDD : 500GB

VGA : Internal Graphic

It was same situation with my lap top.

I just bought this program yesterday.

And I'm in a hurry, because I have to use this program and make some graphic results urgently.

Hey jinnyjinny,

If you have thousands of fonts, the list can take time to load and then cache everything.

As a test, can you try leaving the app alone for 5-10 minutes and then scroll the list? If it's fine after waiting, you might want to install a font manager and turn off a bunch of fonts you don't currently need.

Thanks a lot Chris B.

Even if I only have basic fonts on my computer, I think your reply is correct.

I had no problem, scrolling up and down on Font Type option after I waited for 10 minutes.
And I have no problem now.

Thanks again.

I think once the previews are cached, you should be fine from now on, as that is what was drawing/loading whilst scrolling initially

I suspect the problem is that CJK fonts are typically many times larger than most Western fonts.
