Explanation (?): |
The font cache service is new to Windows Longhorn and I am not certain what it does. If you know anything about this service please let me know so I can post a good description. From the name I would assume it is used in keeping commonly used fonts in memory while providing the ability for them to unhook themselves after not being used. However, this is pure conjecture. As this service is new though, it is apparent that it is not critical to the operation of the system and I am pretty sure it can be disabled. However, since its function is unknown I highly recommend not disabling it, but rather set it to manual. |

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both. And be one traveler, long I stood. And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay. In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." -- Robert Frost: Road Not Taken (1962) |
