I recently got a new laptop with Windows 11. Producing the PDF (via XeLaTeX) always took a long time, even on a small document. Remember that we note that XeLaTeX takes longer to run the first time you run it on a new computer and whenever you add or remove fonts on your system. In this case, however, XeLaTeX always took a long time.<\/p>\n

It turns out that I needed to invoke the XMLmind XML Editor using the “Run as administrator” option. Once I did that, XeLaTeX was able to update its information on fonts the first time. From then on, it produced the PDF quickly.<\/p>\n

So if you run into this situation on Windows 11, try this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Right-click on the XMLmind XML Editor desktop icon.<\/li>\n
  2. Choose “Run as administrator”<\/li>\n
  3. Produce the PDF. This should take a while.<\/li>\n
  4. Produce the PDF again. This time it should run much faster.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    From then on, you will only need to do this whenever you add or remove fonts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
