Yes. S7 Scheme is faster than GNU Guile 1.8 in most cases. (The S7 port is completed by Max, and I did many bug fixed in Mogan Editor).

And I found that font finding is really slow in GNU TeXmacs for the first time, that's the reason why GNU TeXmacs is very slow for most of the use cases.

I tried to improve the performance by introducing the initial font cache: https://git.lug.ustc.edu.cn/XmacsLabs/mogan/-/blob/main/TeXmacs/fonts/font_cache.scm

I pre-calculate the font cache for the fonts shipped with Mogan Editor and thus make Mogan Editor faster.

For new users, it is a significant improvement. But for user who has been using GNU TeXmacs, there are no big differences on performance using Mogan Editor or GNU TeXmacs.

Darcy, congratulations, it compiles and installs smoothly on Ubuntu 22.04 (via cmake).

I cannot see much differences at the moment (the toolbar icons look somewhat fancier), should it be faster than vanilla TeXmacs?

Best, Zoltan

PS. I am working on my first book written in TeXmacs, it is over 30 pages now, first impressions can be found at http://prover-test.geogebra.org/~kovzol/courses/logik-22ws/Logik-5.pdf.

The TeXmacs fork (Mogan Editor) is not trying the separate the community. Mogan Editor is doing many experiments like:

• Using Qt 5
  
• Using CMake
  
• Using MXE (Octave is using MXE)
  
• Using S7 Scheme
  

I (with other contributors) made many improvements and bug fixes (to be honest, I may introduce new bugs) on Mogan Editor.

Mogan Editor 1.1.1 is compatible with GNU TeXmacs 2.1.2. And you can install Mogan Editor v1.1.1 along with GNU TeXmacs.

Mogan Editor 1.1.2 will be released in 2023.

In the last two months of 2022, I will try to contribute back the good part we made in Mogan to GNU TeXmacs.

If you are using Mogan Editor, do not hesitate to tell us in this thread: the most attractive features/bug fixes of Mogan compared to GNU TeXmacs.

I will try to submit patches and discuss with Joris or other GNU TeXmacs developers to improve GNU TeXmacs.
