Font Manager refresh doesn't work, wrong font renderings are shown... how does anyone use this?

Refresh is disabled much of the time, and when it isn't, it doesn't do anything.

Even removing a directory from the search locations and re-adding it wasn't sufficient to refresh the font list properly. And oh yeah: When you remove a directory, the giant list pane still shows the list of fonts that were in it. So there's a glaring list-refresh/management problem.

Eventually I restarted the app, and at that point it still showed an incorrectly rendered font family (from a TTC file that I had since deleted and replaced with individual TTFs extracted from that file). When I installed one of the typefaces, it finally refreshed the renderings of all in that family.

This functionality is so fundamental to the application that I don't see any excuse for it being broken in a production release.
