Is it possible for a template to manage its own fonts without affecting the system settings?

[Kangarooss]

I am currently encountering an issue with certain packages (like fontawesome0.2.0) that require downloading and installing fonts. This process significantly affects portability. For instance, whenever I use fontawesome0.2.0 on a different computer, I need to follow the package's readme to download and install the fonts manually. This is not only cumbersome but also contaminates the environment.

Is there a way for a package to bundle and carry the fonts it needs? Alternatively, is there a Typst Font Manager that can manage fonts?

It's not currently possible, but we're aware of the problem. The best place to discuss it would be the Discord forge thread on Resources. The current discussion there is about somewhat adjacent problems, but the font stuff also fits with it.
