How to refresh applied fonts? I'm creating a font ad-hoc and modifying It as I need time to time..

Any way to reload the font file linked to the *.blend file so all text objects are immediately refreshed?

Now I need to reload the font file for every text object at every modification...

Is there maybe a way to apply the font to a material via nodes? (or something like [maybe a script?])
Through the interface there is currently no way to replace the file for an existing font (ideally this would be supported),however from Python you can do this.

eg, run this script:

import bpy
bpy.context.object.data.font.filepath = '//some_font.ttf'


However in 2.76 there is a bug where this won't update immediately (just fixed).

So you have to do...

import bpy
bpy.context.object.data.font.filepath = '//some_font.ttf'
bpy.context.object.data.update_tag()


You could set the file-path to its self to force reloading too.
