Good to know as it is not very obvious from the fc27 release announcement: 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2009-June/003177.html

Looking at the new APIs it is still not clear to me: how does an app decide when the substitution font 
suggested by fontconfig is not good enough so it should request AutoFontsAndMimeInstaller to search for 
other fonts and install them? Example: "Segoe" is not available but "Frutiger" is. FC suggests the latter as a 
fallback. Should OOo use "Frutiger" or should it ask AutoFontsAndMimeInstaller to search the internet for 
"Segoe"?
