There is a loadable GTK+ module that hooks into the Pango fontmap to do
the magic: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libpk-gtk-module.so
Pango will then call back with any languages which need
installing,
Are we talking less "Automatic Font Installation" in a "you don't
Liberation Serif which this document wants to use, want to install it"
kind of a way but more "Automatic code-point coverage font installation"
in a "to display this text you need a font that contains the requested
glyphs".
