Thanks! I still think you should concentrate on a FC<->AFAMI interaction and then making sure that apps 
such OOo gets notified when they succeeded in installing new fonts. OOo will happily reformat then.

Having FC negotiate with AFAMI would have so many benefits... as I already said in #desc5 FC has the full 
picture of what is going on, what is missing etc. And as a central configuration entity for font-related 
questions it will better know the relationships between different fonts, where to get them directly, where 
to get nice substitutions. Managing the font autoinstallation from a module other than FC just calls for 
trouble, useless extra work, annoying modal dialogs, etc.
