I made the mistake of using an arial font to match a corporate style sheet.

Now texmacs is pleased to run "locate /arial.ttf" on a regular basis which takes about 20 seconds.

AGHHH - why can't it remember the answer from last time?

Also; I have "Arial Black" installed but TeXmacs doesn't offer me that font - anyone know why?
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial_Black.ttf

I tried things like:
<with|font|ms-arial_black but no joy.|<arg|title>>

maybe this works - it's hard to tell, it was looking for arialbd.ttf but it plays with locate so often who knows what it finally settled with.
