Steven, do you think that the env variable and global attribute tricks I
propose in PR #3096 (allowing you to separately specify searchpaths for fonts)
will adequately solve the problem for you?
I suppose I could also change the splitting of the options around ':' so that
it's aware of embedded quotes or something, but that seemed like a bigger
surgery to perform.
