Thanks for the answer Tilman. The initial idea was to avoid a fork and keep the library up to date.
Don't you think that the feature of having a single directory as source of all available fonts could be used by others? Without changing the access level of the classes, it might be possible to add a configuration to the library, and in the background used a different implementation of FontDirFinder?
