Re: [NTG-context] Why searching fonts in xetex is so slow?

I see, no font is defined when dumping the formats... pretty unlike plain TeX... then why so much time is used for iwona, while only 1.2 sec is used to load lm roman? On Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 8:43 PM, Hans Hagen wrote:

Hi, Mojca:

However, when comment the second line (\definetypeface [iwona] [mm] [math] [iwona] [default] [encoding=ec]), TeXExec | runtime: 1.828 total compile time is reduced to only 2 seconds. (of course, equations are typeset in latin modern).

But LM should suffer from the same problem.

I think LM tfm/otf metrics information are dumped to fmt statically. See the TeX82 source code (don't know xetex's situation, but i am sure tex82 works like that).

context never dumps fonts in the format
