Hi,
When I use XeTeX, font searching through texmf- tree is very slow.
search font through fontconfig is very fast.
plain TeX or LaTeX does not have that problem.
why is that? anyway to improve it?
afaik xetex perfers to look in the database first and then on the file
system
context on the other hand prefers to look for a file first
if you don't know what "whatever" stands for, prefixing with file: or
name: might help, as in file:whatever
