Interview with Matthew Kille - AmigaOS 4.0 GUI Design : Comment 20 of 46 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 18-Jun-2003 04:46 GMT | In reply to Comment 16 (Chris): "Suitcase (font management)"
That was always an insanity on the Mac. I don't know if it's still a problem on OS X.
Basically, they used an array to list the fonts, so only a small number can be in use at one time. The Amiga OS uses linked lists as its standard data structure, so there is no limit on how many fonts (or similar resources) you can have.
Never ever have a fixed limit on how many wotsits there can be in the OS. Some have a limit to how many files can be in a partition, or how many partitions there can be on a drive (hence nonsense about "logical partitions"). |
