is it possible to declare a rule, which extension is tried first?
\DeclareFontLoadingRule{otf,ttf,...}

If i load a font with the operating system, i can use all font shapes 
automatically.
It is meaningful, to set the shapes by a external font, so that i can 
use textbf, textit, ...?
e.g.
\newfontfamily\dejavu{%
	[Regular]{DejaVuSans.ttf}
	[Bold]{DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf}
	[Italic]{DejaVuSans-Italic.ttf}
	[BoldItalic]{DejaVu-xyz.ttf}
}

\dejavu Text Text \textbf{Text} \textit{Text}
