Comment (by pulkomandy):
One of the directory constants for BPathFinder is
B_FIND_PATH_FONTS_DIRECTORY (defined in FindDirectory.h). The BPathFinder
APIs will return a complete list of all font directories in the system,
and if we add more, it will return those as well.
For enumerating fonts, the existing APIs can be used (see for example
src/preferences/appearance/FontMenu.cpp). As Axel suggested, maybe a
lazily built menu would be the simplest solution. To implement this, you
would use the "MenusBeginning" hook function (in BWindow) to recreate the
whole font menu. This way, there is no need to node monitor anything and
you can just get the current list of fonts from the FontManager, like the
Appearance preferences do.
