Does it flush the OS font cache when updating a font, so that the new version works and isn't glitchy? I understand this is generally a widespread issue when updating fonts on Windows and Mac. Not sure about *nix.
What if the filename changes in a font update? What if new styles are added (or removed) or renamed? What if the font name or style names change in the font's metadata (NAME table)? Do the old versions still get removed in these scenarios?
It would be cool to see these answered up front in the readme.

The upstream sources are taken as they are, so fontman doesn't check if the metadata changes or anything like that. On update, the old version gets removed and replaced by the new, no matter what. Haven't seen this causing any problems yet.
Very cool project! But I have a lot of questions:
