Why would I need this? I keep most of my fonts outside of the default
folders so they aren't loaded when an app starts, as I have a ton of them
and it makes load times skyrocket. If you could implement that feature, that
would make my life SO much easier than what I am having to do currently
(split my fonts into 8 alternative .fonts folders and rename each one to go
through the fonts).
