Terminal Services Client Registry Editor: Glyph Cache tab

The glyph cache stores glyphs client side so they do not have to be resent over the wire. The glyph cache contains outline, vector, or raster font information for displaying characters on the client.

A glyph is any character, such as a letter or number, along with the font information required to calculate how that character will be displayed. The first time a glyph is requested, its appearance is calculated, then stored in a glyph cache. Anytime after that the glyph is needed, it is transferred out of the cache to the screen or page buffer. For example, if you are typing in a document with particular font, chances are that 99.9 percent of the time the font is used on the screen as it is being transferred from the cache.

These values are set in the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\.
