Fontconfig already gets asked how a font should be substituted ("font fallback"). Fontconfig also gets 
asked when codepoints are not supported by a font ("glyph fallback").

Other apps also go via fontconfig, so it has a pretty good picture of what is going on: which fonts are 
available, which fonts are requested, which codepoints/languages need more support and in which font 
contexts these languages are used.

So I think the best approach would be that fontconfig makes a list of suggestions first. The next step is to 
either broadcast the suggestions directly to AFI or have OOo poll the suggestions once in a while and 
broadcast them.
