What was this bug about exactly? Having fonts installed to arbitrary
profiles usable by the system? If so, I think that's out of scope.
Note that installing fonts to a profile where XDG_DATA_DIRS is set
should now be discoverable by fontconfig.
I'm closing the issue, but feel free to reopen it if I missed something.
