Parameter Values

number-fonts-open
specifies the number of system fonts to keep open. Number-fonts-open must be greater than or equal to zero.

Details

Each font requires from 4K to 10K memory. Graphs that use many fonts can run faster if you set the value of number-fonts-open to a higher number. However, graphs that use multiple fonts might require too much memory on some computer systems if all the fonts are kept open. In such cases, set the value of number-fonts-open to a lower number to conserve memory.
