About
This is the Japanese version of the Fast Font Menu package. FastFontMenu is a Control Panel which speeds up the building of the Font Menu in most applications. It does this by sorting the font names in an internal array, rather than insertion sorting them in the menu the way older versions of the MacOS did . It also caches the list. This has two benefits. The first is that it'll be MUCH faster for every font menu after the first, as long as your fonts haven't changed (applications that have fonts in their resource forks will clobber the caching, but they've been warned not to do that by Apple's Developer Support for more than seven years). The second benefit is that after the first time, the memory requirements of FFM are much smaller. If you were seeing problems in a control panel or desk accessory, you should no longer see them as long as you've run an application that builds a font menu first. Important: FastFontMenu requires the Collection Manager, which is included with MacOS 8.5 or later. FastFontMenu is WorldScript savvy, and should give you a font menu that's sorted in the same order that you get without it installed. If you find that this isn't the case, drop me a note, and I'll look into it. FastFontMenu 2.2 is fully compatible with Mac OS 9.
