How can I speed up math font loading? change add file: suffix (like [file:rm-iwonar]) won't help :( Core macros need to be changed somehow if you want to achieve that. Hans doesn't use XeTeX, so you need strong arguments to convince him to modify XeTeX-related code. Hans wanted to implement \definefontsynonym [a] [b] to automatically work whether b is a font name, font filename or the old good tfm font. Even though the idea sounds OK and works well in LuaTeX, there's a big problem with it, namely, it becomes so annoyingly slow that it's basically useless (just for fun, you can try to remove file: in front of LM fonts and observe the consequences). Usually filename and font name don't match anyway, so you definitely need to specify which one you want to use. But there's one further problem. You can now specify file: or name: prefix. In the first case this translates to \font\a=[b] and in the second case it translates to \font\a=b For tfm fonts you however need \font\a=b The second form with b works as well, but in that case XeTeX does internal search by first asking fc and only if that fails it asks kpathsea. If you don't provide either file: or name: then ConTeXt needs to check all the three different options in the following order: \font\a=b \font\a=b \font\a=[b] I forgot whether the first one is already accepted (maybe it is), but it any case it takes a lot of time before the right font is found. Ideally ConTeXt should at least switch the order of searching for fonts and should try kpatsea before fc, but then one runs into problems with font names with spaces if one doesn't explicitely provide the name: prefix. The current clever scheme causes more problems longer load times than it brings advantages, but unless Hans changes core macros, there's not much that you can do about it to speed up the loading time.

I assume Context could add support for an explicit tfm: prefix, that would likely solve most issues. But one could also ask Jonathan to make XeTeX accept a less terse and idiosyncratic font syntax. As it stands you can't feed an arbitrary font name (which may contain spaces) into the non quoted syntax (because then the quoted syntax is actually required for tfm loading also), but by adding the quotes the system fonts are suddenly searched first. This makes it harder than needed to support both old and new font formats at the same time.

Total runtime when loading palatino has decreased from 3 to 1.3 seconds if I made the change.
