Right.  That is a (rather pesky!) implementation problem that I was hoping we are already addressing.

Extracting the repertoire resulting from the fonts that we do want to have appears to me to be just a SMOP (small matter of programming).
Making the process explicit of expanding this repertoire is probably a sane way to handle the requirement for this process now that we have drawn it into the light.
