Having fonts installed to arbitrary profiles usable by the system? If so, I think that's out of scope. Note that installing fonts to a profile where XDG_DATA_DIRS is set should now be discoverable by fontconfig. I'm closing the issue, but feel free to reopen it if I missed something. -- Thanks, Maxim
