Very cool project! But I have a lot of questions:

It would be cool to see these answered up front in the readme.

What operating systems does this run on?

I've tested it on Linux, but should run everywhere. If not, it's a bug. (There will be some, as usual.)

Are fonts installed per user or systemwide?

Per user.

Does it flush the OS font cache when updating a font,

Not yet. If this causes trouble, I could add it.

What if the filename changes in a font update?

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.
