Comment (by dsizzle):

 I looked into the node monitoring some more.  It appears that FontManager
 is the key, as it is already monitoring for fonts in directories and
 handling the addition and deletion of them.  I don't think it's worth it
 to duplicate the functionality of FontManager.  I could add an accessor
 function to return FontManager's list of font directories and then monitor
 those but again I'm not sure if that falls into the scope of this issue.
 Unless I am missing something, I don't see how BPathFinder would find the
 font dirs.  Thoughts?  Alternatively I could add a couple more system font
 dirs but it wouldn't be as robust as FontManager.
