List splitting is a good solution.

+---------------------+
| Covering Font 1   |V|
+---------------------+
| Covering Font 2     |
| Covering Font 3     |
|  -----------------  |
| Non-covering font 1 |
| Non-covering font 2 |
| Non-covering font 3 |
| Non-covering font 4 |
| (etc. etc.)         |
+---------------------+


Its benefits:

* Can "override" LibreOffice' heuristic if you disagree with it, without the
hassle of leaving the drop-down list and figuring out where to change the
settings.
* With this in place, we can forego a toggle control in the font selection
dialog for Filtered/Unfiltered. (Although I would still keep one in Tools |
Options somewhere.)

Its detriments:

* You can forget / lose track of whether you're in the "covering" part of the
list of fonts or the "non-covering" part.
* A user may fail to understand/notice/realize that there is a partition, or
what it means.
* Doesn't whittle down the number of items on the list
* Cannot express the degree-of-coverage (like a partial gray-out could)


So, the detriments are mostly minor and the benefits are significant. I
therefore change my mind and currently believe this is the better solution.
