I'll have to look into whether or not I can suppress the loading of the system wide fonts.conf . I do like the idea of the /user/ having the /option/ of ignoring any system fonts that may be present.

There's far too much in Linux distros and OSS apps that's application-specific and/or toolkit-specific already IMHO. That said, lightweight font grouping and enabling/disabling would be rather handy and probably wouldn't need much more than some more UI. -- Craig Ringer
