Mike

  • “Advice on font caching in user profile”
    • Some investigation about possible workarounds, checking which external events cause re-population of fonts list
    • As an (unrelated) accidental find, I think that a WM_FONTCHANGE message might disrupt embedded fonts in currently open files, because the temporary fonts will be closed, and won’t be re-created
  • Adapt insertion dialog to support multimedia files
    • Have the environment working
    • On it
