Now you have to decide which fonts to preload in your format. Unlike
the old font selection scheme of LATEX<#294#><#294#>, where only preloaded fonts
could be used in math applications (like subscripts etc.), the new
font selection scheme poses no restriction at all; documents will
always come out the same.<#295#>Not sure what this means.<#295#>
So you have to take your pick by weighing
the two conflicting principles:
- Preloading often used fonts might make your TEX<#297#><#297#> run a bit faster.
- Using more load-on-demand fonts will make your format much more
flexible, because you can switch to different families far more easily.
After all, there is an upper limit to the number of fonts TEX<#298#><#298#>
can use in one run and every preloaded font will count even if it
is never accessed.
On the PC at home we nowadays always use formats with only 5 fonts
preloaded.#tex2html_accent_inline1505# We don't think that TEX<#302#><#302#> is actually running much
more slowly than before.
Together with the new font selection scheme two files <#303#>#tex2html_accent_inline1508#<#303#> and <#304#>#tex2html_accent_inline1509#<#304#> are distributed. The first one
will preload next to nothing while the second will preload the same
fonts as the old <#305#>#tex2html_accent_inline1510#<#305#>. You can copy either of these files
to <#306#>#tex2html_accent_inline1511#<#306#> and then change it if you want to preload some
other fonts. But please make sure that you don't change one of the
original files of the distribution.
