Word & Excel traag in 10.6

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Na het upgraden van verschillende computers van Mac OS X 10.5 naar Mac OS X 10.6 merkte ik dat het opstarten van MS Word 2008 en MS Excel 2008 veel trager was dan voorheen… Als ik linksonder in een het eerste geopende document keek dan zag ik telkens dat balkje “Optimizing Font Menu Performance” …  bij elke opstart van deze programma’s!

Blijkt dat dit te wijten is aan dubbele lettertypen op de betreffende computer!  Gelukkig is dit eenvoudig op te lossen: Open het programma “Lettertypecatalogus”, kies in het menu [Wijzig: Selecteer dubbele lettertypen], daarbij krijg je alle dubbele lettertypen te zien met een kleine gele driehoek gemarkeerd. Deze kan je veilig deactiveren door vervolgens het menu [Wijzig: Los conflicten op] te selecteren. Daarna starten Word en Excel weer vlotjes op!
