We might be able to support the "language" based stuff similarly to what pango
does, i.e. in our final fontconfig-using glyph fallback code collect the total
failures and catalogue them by language or sommat like that and on a timer make
the dbus call to flush pending "missing languages".

Like the wiki page says, asking for a specific font to be installed because its
missing is tricky given the way fontconfig works makes it hard to know when a
font family or "good" replcement font is not really available
