Ok, doing it as a last level resort for glyph fallback looks like a reasonable 
first step. The resulting 
modal dialog may be annoying though e.g. when something with an invalid 
encoding is pasted 
resulting in gazillions of weird codepoints.

Regarding RFEs for this feature I already have an idea: make FC interact with 
AFAMI directly. If an app 
asks for a font with support for a specific codepoint and FC does not find a 
good answer, it should ask 
AFAMI for help. IMHO it should be configurable whether FC does this 
asynchronously, synchronously 
(using a modal) dialog or if the feature is disabled, globally or application 
specific or as part of the font 
pattern. OOo already does the right thing when the equivalent of a 
WM_FONTCHANGED comes along.

I would prefer it to be asynchronous by default. And having a patterns like 
FC_AUTOFONT_REQUIRED, 
FC_AUTOFONT_SUGGESTED, FC_AUTOFONT_MAYBE or FC_AUTOFONT_DONTCARE would help to 
distinguish important use cases such as idle formating or UI-text.

IMHO most external observers overestimate the number of "OO.o people" working 
on stuff like this...
