Isn't ftinfo pretty heavy on the Perl? It also only covers TTF files (I 
tested) and I'm trying to support Type1 too.

Well, my app Fonty Python, is all about herding arbitrary font files and 
then "installing" them by making links in ~/.fonts (and removing them by 
removing the links.)

 The idea has always been to introduce some element of font management to the 
scene - as well as the ability to view fonts that are not installed (i.e. 
under the control of fontconfig), just laying about in folders. So, I have 
the paths as part of the whole herding thing ;)
