This might be useful for the MathML support. Currently, the status of OpenType MATH fonts on Linux is

and there is a patch there that could be used as an example.

The main issue here is to decide how to detect missing fonts and to determine which fonts to ask PackageKit to install. There is a patch here in Gecko:
