    <title>Sources</title>

    <p>
    <app>Font Manager</app>
    allows you to add or remove directories to scan for font files.
    Added directories are scanned recursively.
    </p>
    <p>
    This allows keeping font files somewhere other than your home
    directory or temporarily "installing" a directory of fonts.
    </p>
    <p>
    It also allows you to organize your font files anyway you like.
    </p>

        You can avoid having multiple copies of the same files by adding
