This is indeed a good idea. We already do that for Lyx/Mac. This is
done currently in qt2/qfont_loader::initFontPath. Could you move the
code there? I would also prefer to use private fonts in Win2k/xp also.
When using AddFontResource, the docs say that one should do a
SendMessage to give notice to other applications. I guess it is not
needed with local fonts.

I'd appreciate if you could update the patch according to the remarks
above, or find someone who can do so.
