ConTeXt distribution, at least for the popular fonts?

Many of those are covered by typescripts. Those that are not, are on my machine because we needed them (often long ago) for a project (these are commercial fonts, in most cases typeone and of such a collection actually a few were used then). There are also some commercial fonts that I got for free. Then there are fonts that I have to check because users had an issue (public ones, of different quality and useability). Of those 'trying to cover all of unicode with different fonts of the same design' I tested subsets. And of course the fonts that come with the operating system (basically all fonts that context can access during a run).

We're not going to make typescripts for every combination as in practice for most documents one needs a single setup and therefore only a handful of lines of code (and likely use some typescript file for a math font). There's also the selectfont mechanism that uses heuristics to do the same. There are plenty of examples in the distribution and for a specific style that demands certain fonts one can also put the definitions in the style.

    My document decreased from 580+ pages to 500 pages after that.

    About your document, I assume you had a lot of Graphics because text
    only 180MB is too high.
    I have only few diagrams and my file size is only 3MB.

        it's hard to tell what exact consumpiton is becaue for instance
        when lua
        creates tables, they grow by factors two when then have to
        (maybe 5.5 is
        a bit less consuming)

        on the one hand luametatex is more efficient than luatex due to
        all kind
        of ímprovements' but some nodes are larger so that takes more
        memory,
        which is only noticed when one has lots of text on a page (or keeps
        boxes stuff around)

        anyway, not that much changed since the previous upload, so
        maybe you
        just stay below a threshold

        I recently generated a 180MB document with 2500 fonts + metapost
        outlines of them and that could bump mem usage (with empty
        cache) to 30
        GB (less after fonts were cached) but normally we stay around
        125 MB for
        a document. Anyway, tex mem consumption can often be neglected
        compared
        to other applications.
