SailorMax Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 We have 2 cases of startup: load the app via icon on desktop or main menu load the app with selected file(s) In first case we don't need fonts immediately. Can you load fonts in background after show the app? This will save, on my PC as example, 4 seconds! thank you. Quote

It used to be possible to use "C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\Photo.exe" --disable-font-preview-cache which sped up the load a bit but I can't get this work on version 1.10 Maybe there are font manager tricks but I have no knowledge of such.

The main font manager trick is to uninstall most of the fonts not needed by your operating system, and then to use the font manager to load (i.e. temporarily install) the fonts you want for a particular project.
