--- Comment #7 from William L. Thomson Jr. <wlt-ml at o-sinc.com> ---
Valid point, such would need to be addressed as part of any implementation.
That could be addressed in a few ways. Offhand

1. By the identifier used by a given program
   In simplest form it stores program name. It may store additional identifiers
unique to usage in a given application. Ex:

A:editor:DejaVu Sans
A:reading:Noto Sans
A:lists:Noto Sans Mono

2. PID
   Likely not as good as 1, for same reason. Could be same process requesting
multiple fonts.

Likely other methods. I think something based on #1 would likely be best but it
could vary.
