However texmacs is also searching for pfb, ttc, otf and dfont extensions for each font, so you would still have to "locate" several times and that would still be too long for opening a menu. But Joris previously anounced an upcoming overhaul of the font system which surely will solve this problem. Meanwhile, simply commenting line 282 of init_texmacs.cpp (that is, disabling "locate") gives a linux-texmacs with a font menu working correctly, except maybe if you use extra fonts in non-standard folders.
