April 2026: Focused on stabilizing font management across package updates in Mudlet/Mudlet. Implemented robust re-registration of package-supplied fonts after updates and prevented font removal across profiles that use the same package. This reduces cross-profile font leakage and prevents unintended font removals during unload/update cycles, addressing issues like #7532.
