Can be this solved by font management bundles? Then one can use */Library/Fonts,
fontconfig, win32, xfs or any other/custom font system at the same time.

Is that possible or is font system really tightly tied to the backend and there
should be only one font system per backend? If it is currently tied, then what
would be necessary to do to modularise it?
