New issue 10665 by [email protected]: Font fallback should eventually fall  
back on fontconfig
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10665

WebKit generally manages font fallback (consider CSS rules), so when it
requests a font by name we should not allow fontconfig to do font fallback.

However, if it finds no matches at all, we ought to allow fontconfig to do
its best effort at matching.  This is conceptually simple but the APIs
involved (webkit, skia, etc.) make it difficult.

agl suggested in bug 9100 that FontCache::getLastResortFallbackFont() could
pass a magic font name so that skia could know to do this behavior.  This  
bug
is a tightening of bug 9100.

I have a patch (contributed by Dan Erat) for this.
