<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.
