I was actually thinking of a machine-maintained .private-fonts that is
sourced by the system-wide session file. Assuming that you document
the fact that the user is not allowed to munge this file, it would be
almost equivalent to having the configuration mechanism you're proposing.
In other words: the main problem you're describing is the lack of a
well-defined boundary between user- and machine-maintained
configuration files, a problem that is rampant throughout Unix-like
systems.
Keith is right, though, that it would confuse the hell out of xset fp
default.
