There are many useful state-change notifications which are only sent to

Aside from this, making RUfl (and its clients) able to handle this

Fair enough. As I have said elsewhere, I don't find font scanning too
intrusive personally and frankly though it would perhaps be more complete
to include such functionality there would be little or no benefit in
scanning many fonts used on an ad-hoc basis.
The RUFL scanning process is currently too long to be performed as a
response to font path change notifications. It would have to be altered
to perform scanning in the background in order not to lock out the user
at arbitrary times (i.e. other than wen having started a RUFL using
application such as NetSurf).
