You have one million and a bit. How big the font file? Windows 3.0 was 1 million lines of code. Win 2000 is about 30 million. I think that Win95 is less than 10 million. Win95 creates an illusion of multi tasking over the DOS OS. That is the problem. Linux is multi tasking and the GUI can take advantage of this, but has to manage the screen and its layers. So the Linux GUI desktop does not have the problems that MS Windows would have. I still think it is high time we divorced ourslves of the X-legacy as it imposes future limitations on the development of Linux. It was built fro a previous era and multiple machines and a client server paradigm that we do not use in the PC Linux world. EC<:-}
