Zusammenfassung:A method and system for efficiently loading fonts at the boot time of a computer uses a cache file to store font-loading information for the installed fonts. The font-loading information is extracted from the font files by associated font drivers and stored in the font-loading information cache when the fonts were installed. During the boot time of the computer, for each installed font, an associated font driver determines whether the font-loading information for that font has been stored in the font-loading information cache. If the font-loading information is in the cache, the font driver retrieves the font-loading information from the cache, without having to open the font file.
