FontCache Entries

The FontCache subkey in the following Registry path contains entries that define parameters for font caching:

|

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
    \FontCache

The value entries in the FontCache subkey can greatly influence the amount of memory used by the system. However, these values should not be modified, except in the rare case where you must tune the performance for an international version of Windows NT or for specialized cases such as a print shop, where you may be manipulating large character sets.
