Still, these programs make their fonts available to all apps which use the standard system APIs. I'd claim that such managers might not be so rare among (La)TeX users since they often care about their fonts. But these managed fonts wouldn't be available to LuaLaTeX …</div><div><br></div><div>simon</div><div>
