So this boils down to the following question:
Is fontconfig automatically run Windows if a font changes (in one of
the directories observed by fontconfig)?
Or to formulate it differently:
On Windows, does TeXLive install fontconfig as a background program
that is capable of monitoring the system font directories? [Note
that it is not necessary to handle fonts within TeXLive, AFAIK,
since XeTeX and friends can use the texlsr data base.]
In case the answer is yes, the next question would be
On Windows, does the TeXLive installer provides an interface to
configure the directories observed by fontconfig?
