Be warned that typeface designs are subject to copyright in most non-US
Western countries. So you can't just "re-implement" typeface designs.
People will also have documents that use specific font names.
A good compromise might be to ship a core set of fonts that cover
your user's needs, and allow them to download the others, and also
to provide a way for them to buy fonts when there are not free ($) ones.
A good subsitute would have original designs for glyphs but the same
metrics as the non-free font it aims to replace.
