: The speed is not too bad, but with True Type fonts, it is VERY at the
: initial rendering of a page. I am looking into it.
Currently, Nano-X doesn't cache any information about
Truetype font sizes, etc. This means that Nano-X will [re]load
the font for every call. Some browsers (ViewML used to do
this) call GetTextExtent and such many times per line, and
that's one reason for the slowness. Either a caching patch
to Nano-X or a cache in Mozilla's Nano-X driver will
most likely fix this problem.

Greg
