I doubt it, as I'm likely to be making updates soonish.
Am I able to update files on the website?

Definitely add a link.

I'm sure! Throwing away somebody else's stuff is a
great source of conflict. Some of my own stuff might
even need to go; will I be too lenient or too harsh?

I have no idea, except that paths are weird.

It's not nice having this switch at all. I can see a need
to limit the number of system fonts in case there is not
enough memory. If crashes are the problem, I could add
some crash protection on systems with fork().
