Hello

This feature request is an outcome of a forum discussion.

When implementing a font provider for hot reloading, it is very hard to trigger the hot reloading with the method RaiseFontChanged(...), since it takes a lot of arguments (font name, weight, stretch and style), which are usually unknown to the font provider. The font provider previously just opened the file as stream and hand it over to the Noesis API, thus it does not even know the name of the font, just the folder and filename.

It would be great to enhance the API in a way, that it is easier to implement font providers for hot reloading. I could imagine two ways of doing it:
1.) either the Noesis API returns this information to the font provider, so it can cache it and later reuse to trigger reloading
2.) or the Noesis API allows reloading by folder and filename

Maybe you have even better ideas.

Thanks in advance.
