I often use !#<path> to invoke LC engines, which gives me specific 
command line options for a given script.

But it would be nice to support other ways to invoke the option for some 
things and not others.

Given that it's taken years to get approval for -f, I'm reluctant to 
overload the task with too many additional features at the outset, 
though perhaps as a separate scope of work it may be worth pursuing if 
we can find someone to implement it.

What sorts of things are you building that use specific fonts in 
generated graphics on the server?
