You got to complain somewhere. ;-). Might as well be here. :-)

I dont' think that can be done - easily at least. The ".sfd" string is 
in the code.

But, if you read the doc, you will see that you can put a SFD file in 
any directory known to Skencil regardless where the fonts are. Thus, you 
can load all the SFDs in the Fontmetric directory (away from all the 
other directories the "Spline Font Database" may use). This is a feature 
of the Skencil font mechanism


Thanks.
