Yes Sam, that would surely be an improvement. 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. 

best,
Philippe
