Why not? (Do you really want to make things more difficult than they
can be on purpose? Who is going to install polish fonts then ... ?)
I don't change fonts for long time, and every change is tested.
That's not even entirely true. Fonts in minimals DO change, without
running a special installer. Most of time it is also true that ConTeXt
version probably changes inbetween as well anyway, so font cache will
be rebuilt, but you should not rely on that.
in most cases (and definitely with the polish ones) the file size
changes (if only because they keep changing the names) an dthat gets
detected
the only problem is when a file has exactly the same size (can be the
case if only values of numbers changed)
i've added an extra check on modification time
Maybe a lua script to install fonts is better -- we can eventually
think to a wxLua gui interface .
Or start expanding fontinst to handle OpenType fonts? Anyone?
no, and i see no reason why ... afaik fontinst does things with type 1
fonts for latex (i never used it but i think they read the files or so)
... even then, we want to drop fonts in directories and not run programs
nowadays i always just drop 'm in
texmf*/fonts/data/origin/collection
so for example in
texmf-fonts/fonts/data/khaled/xits
(and i no longer bother about separating type1 file into different paths
anyway as data is patr of all path vars)
