Thanks.
The function we are interested in is font-info, or Ffont_info on the C
level. Its code is in the file font.c around line 5100. It calls
various other functions, like fs_query_fontset and font_open_by_name.
I'd like to know which one of them takes most of the time, then drill
down into that function and find out which of its subroutines takes
most of the time, etc. One way of doing that is step through the code
and find the line whose execution takes a perceptible time.
Alternatively, you could use the 'perf' utility available on GNU/Linux
systems, to profile the code of Ffont_info and its subroutines and
find out which one takes most of the time.

Maybe the fonts available on those systems are different?

Yes, the 'ldd' command is your friend.
