Bug 26079 Use PfLoadMetrics() to speed up text extenting.
Reported: 2002-11-13 02:04:30 | Status: resolved fixed

If you use PfLoadMetrics() when using PfExtentWideText() (which we are already doing) then you can avoid all transactions to the external font server. This provides a big drop in CPU usage when using Tables, Trees, and the StyledText editor.
