It seems to me that if we want this feature, WebKit should at least expose an API to
register a callback for "missing fonts" that would provide some info about the
font needed to render a visited page. Then browsers can use that to call PackageKit.
Note that math is a bit different than "human" language. In general, Linux
distributions are localized and thus contains the appropriate fonts for the script of the
current language, so autoinstallation would only be for languages other than the one of
the system. For math, we don't really have a way to know if the user of the system is
interested in math, even if the fact that a TeX distribution is installed (and thus Latin
Modern Math) is one possibility. Autoinstallation would allow to guess that by checking
that Math(ML) pages are visited.
