Description
A customer has asked us to enhance the FontManager so that they can get more consistent results in font substitution font pairing from system to system.
The font manager currently has a few extension points but it still tries to read all system fonts before reading the customer paths. When the properties object is create ordering is lost which is also a potential problem.

A customer has reported a regression. Font substitution no longer woks of the font properties file cache is disabled. The issue is related to a file lock check being done which is causing the font scan to not execute.

Verified default font paths are no scanned regardless of a user disabling the file cache.

I've done quite a bit of work to try and clean thing up in the FontPropertiesManager as well as the FontManager. The FontManager API has been kept intact with the addition of a few new methods that allow the skipping of the default system font search. The FontPropertiesManager API has changed to make it more flexible. Core functionality hasn't changed but there is a new constructor that avoid the auto scan feature.
