From: tektronix!decvax!ittvax!dcdwest!sdcsvax!sdcrdcf!trwrb!trwrba!cepu!ucsbcsl!ucsbcsl!iltis@uw-beaver.arpa With reference to Macwrite hanging when there are many font changes and point sizes on the same line: I am plagued by this problem using both Princeton and Omnibus/Omnisci fonts. Example, I use a 24pt bold contour integral symbol(omnisci) interspersed with regular 12pt. text. If I position the cursor after the contour integral symbol, the machine sometimes accesses the disk repeatedly until I move the cursor somewhere else. The only way to deal with the problem is to delete the text in question. The problem is not related to memory - I have run into the same problem when beginning with a new file. This bug makes writing equations very difficult sometimes, and it should be fixed. R.A. Iltis UC Santa Barbara ECE Dept.
