PROBLEM:
Corel Draw X8 can suffer from a long launch due to loading fonts when a user starts the application.
SOLUTION:
- Modify the user’s (Or Windows Default User) NTUSER.dat file by loading it via the registry. Ppen PowerShell as Admin and then load the user NTUSER.dat file with the following command:
Reg load HKU\UserMod .\NTUSER.DAT
2. Go to to HKU\UserMod\Software\Corel\CorelDraw\17.0\Draw\Application Preferences\TextTool
3. Modify LiveText from 1 to 0
4. Unload the user NTUSER.DAT
Reg unload HKU\UserMod .\NTUSER.DAT
CAUSE:
During Corel Draw launch, it will try to load all fonts prior to finishing the initialization. If you have XenApp VMs with an extensive list of fonts installed, Corel Draw will try to load them. Additionally, the live Text tool in Corel Draw allows the user to preview changes in the text before he/she makes them. This tool requires that all fonts are loaded in the memory and ready for a live test any time the user wants to.
