Just a food for thought, but would it be possible to separate CSS font
selection from glyphs font selection? I mean, we should select a font to be
used for the current rendered element as specified in CSS, e.g. if there's 

font-family = arial, "Liberation Sans", sans-serif

then try arial, if not present try Liberation Sans and if still not present
then use sans-serif family, system default, and let pango/freetype substitution
functions handle the rest? I.e. the font selection for HTML elements would be
done traditional way (as it is done now) and font selection for the glyphs
themselves would be left for pango/freetype to solve.

Does that sound sane? It seems to me like a good way to have both the CSS font
selection working and this bug fixed...
