Answering also with a rhetoric question: who wants something buggy?

I wonder how NiceFonts can slow down the image because its just  
another strike font. It would certainly help if you report this to the  
author with some more details. I think NiceFonts can work, but it has  
to be done properly (e.g., you need to import italics, else the result  
is not good).
